I liked your post but of course I don't like the idea of good people being out of work.According to Google in May 2025 there were 736,000 job vacancies and 1, 640,000 unemployed people in the UK.

Try asking Google why that is!According to Google in May 2025 there were 736,000 job vacancies and 1, 640,000 unemployed people in the UK.
Nevertheless there are more than twice as many out of work as there are vacancies. If training is the issue then we should address the problem of availability and cost or it will never go away and we'll be importing people forever and adding to the need for housing, healthcare, schooling, etc.Try asking Google why that is!
The “economically inactive”, those not actually seeking work because of health issues and those between jobs account for a lot of those registered.
There are skills shortages, a lack of training facilities and economic barriers to taking the training.
We certainly should address the training shortages and ensure as many of those who don’t work, but could work, do work. I have no time for the feckless and would take a very hard line with them.Nevertheless there are more than twice as many out of work as there are vacancies.
