The number of people in the UK claiming unemployment benefits rose by almost 70% in April alone. The figure is a reflection of a deteriorating job market, as businesses struggle to stay afloat due to the impact of coronavirus, and is expected to rise as the government winds down its furlough scheme.
Unemployment is making me look so stupid for going to school, because presently I can't help myself financially.
quê emprego? depende, tem placa em toda a cidade: precisa se de médico, cientista, enfermeiros, caixas de mercado, auxiliar de farmacêutico, motorista de caminhão.
If unemployment is so bad then why do we allow unskilled migration for the labour market.
And not just the young ones. Those over the age of 50 made up nearly a quarter (24 per cent) of all unemployed people in the UK between August and October – around 407,000 people. Historically it's been 4%
It's irrelevant since a low unemployment rate only means that a master always finds work for his slaves.
I would suggest the same as everyone else.. I'm 56 and it's always been a problem.. Right, back to the treadmill for me..
Be sure to put your age in, so it’s credible.... Tooth, aged 7 3/4.
Badly. Next question? thegrubbian
Extremely terrible😎
Go home to parents. Learn how to make online. within 12 months of focus and hard work you could be doing pretty well.
Nigeria's case of unemployment and insurgency is suicidal!
Plenty of warehouse work about. Many think they are above it though and don't like the graft.
this is terrible news
I have the very same salary as five years ago... due to “unemployment” I can’t negotiate an increase.
thanks for this news
It’s affecting my employment — I’m unemployed.
Boris has fixed it all. What a guy.
I don't have any money...
Young people like a model
No
I experienced rising unemployment as a school leaver in the early 80's. Now at 56, I can tell-you with a degree of certainty.. get used to it.. You are on the current economical-treadmill.. I would tell you all a joke about trickle-down economics, but only 1% of you would get-it.
Why only young people
Young people can still live with parents and save on rent bills food so they don't lose out at all
The Salmond/Sturgeons case is really hotting up?
Та шось не дуже
How about reducing the retirement age back to 65 at first (then 64/63 if needed), get those older vunerable people out of the workplace to create gaps for the younger unemployed at the bottom? BorisJohnson RishiSunak theresecoffey
Really irritating. Call of Duty Online battles are now filled with newbies. 😖😩
In other Guardian news “home learning is great, let’s outsource teaching jobs to Google”.
Unemployment has broken the backs of the younger generation. Instead of giving jobs to the youth, you are asking the youth how unemployment has affected the youth. Please listen, unemployment has brought disaster.
Not at all.
Young people, they’re funded by bill gates!! So they just wanna see how much more misery they can pile on you! Don’t engage with the request
We are unemployed, isn't it enough?
You should have hired people at customs, I have a package held in a warehouse waiting for what I still don't know, amateurish organization..what a mess!
Mentirosos! jairbolsonaro não persegue indígenas nenhum. Vocês do the Guardian servem a quem? Soros?
That has to be the stupidest question ever.
We are unemployed...was that a serious question?
I was depressed. Now I have one more reason not to get out it.
Not a young person but I'm gonna guess they're not enjoying it. Great work The Guardian, whoever you are.
They just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fix the economy that their parents and grandparents have destroyed for them. Come on kids it's not hard. If I did it so can you!
I have a degree in Computer Science and struggling to even find a junior programming job, it’s great!
thank you very much for your work
Hungry? Get £15 off your first Uber Eats order of £15. Use code: eats-uspt76 😋🍺
Unemployment is a burden for us youth then there comes underemployment u just feel like dying
The pool of workers and s getting bigger so I don’t need to pay as much
Over 25 but it’s not great at all. The gift of almost endless spare time is harder to handle in many ways as it feels like there’s less excuses to not succeeding
I am sure u would. You pathetic rag
Politicians and journalists are immune from this nonsense.
jesus, you really are the grief hounds of the internet aren't you?
Due to Lockdown. Not Coronavirus. They are losing their jobs because of Lockdown. How you mange the virus is a choice.
Sob anti gov stories required, made up or real, we don't care at the Guardian.
That’s half the country !!!!
Why just under 25? They don’t have mortgages, ask us!!!
I just want to be able to get my hair cut and nails done! I want to speak to a manager!
If you need your bills paid send a dm
I do feel sorry for young people, I mean ,what's their future going to be like?
It's almost like shutting down the economy for a virus that has a very low ifr (though the media would like you to ignore that fact and believe its the plague all over again) has consequences....
PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSE. It is not just the Under 25's who are affected by unemployment. The media extremely rarely talks about the 40+ age group. Yes, there is talk of successful reinvention, but for the majority it is a real struggle.
At least the under 25s have a chance to return to work in the future. I'm 62, I might never work again.
So you can rub the hit job you pulled on Corbyn in their face?
Hello am out here and you know I ve been out here don’t forget the follow button ✌️💖
/ Dead Right Young Un’s Coronavirus has also closed Europe for one to go to search for work !!!
Due to lack of job protection laws . The duty of a democratic government
'They should pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Back in my day, we walked 15 miles to our job, during a heavy snow day, at 4am and grafted, and did it for 14 hours. Kids these days...' Probably some boomer.
I’m sure the true figure can be disguised to hoodwink the electorate like the thousand times before.
Young people: please tell us about your unemployment to keep us employed.
Well, as a result of rising unemployment rates I don't have a job.
It's Christmas day, can't you have one day off from making people miserable by reminding them of stuff like this.
Then stop promoting covid scenarios
😭😭😭...
Please retweet and/ or donate what you can, I’m trying to help my mother with her medical bills and get her a new apartment. Thank you. boost gofundme gofundme
Labour Party tweet no 13 today
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all
this is terrible news
Unfair
LockdownNo Why doesnt the guardian just make up stories like they always do .everyone knows unemployment is fun and suicide is painless homelessness is a priveledge and we should embrace slavery .im not 25 sorry guardian propagandists
thanks for this news
Due to the restrictions, you mean?
Not because of coronavirus. Because of government restrictions.
What about older workers who lost their job and can’t get another due to subliminal age discrimination
I am sure you do. The rag that can't do its own investigations, with absolutely nothing to offer
good
What will you do after that
DM me I’ll let you know
Friends, butter and pizza, sounds like a fun year.

How much are you getting paid for these surveys
Will you be paying for the content or you want it for free..
Help us get a lachrymose topic please, then find yourself a job
90% of news about covid and trump
The race to the bottom just got 10x worse. Meanwhile the dwindling thumb executives still raking in 6 figures, retiring later than ever. Lack of promotions, opportunities without good connections. Self serving capitalism
Loaded question
What about older ppl?
I think I’m just concerned why senatemajldr, is refusing to do obvious things which could better this situation. And almost immediately better many of the situations we face, that’s what I’m most concerned about.
As the Guardian wrote elsewhere today, most people of the ten thousand homeless new in the UK works in hospitality. Particularly in that age group.. I used to work in that in the UK too..All I can say god thank my atheist god, for having left BrexitReality Uk.
Why, you got work for them?
Why, are you going to employ them?
More good news please(((
I'd like to say what an excellent job the Tories are doing, despite all the deaths, despite all the cronyism, kleptocracy and incompetence. Despite the shrinking economy, the job losses, the food banks, the underfunded NHS with staff shortages and the failed T&T app, great job!
It's not just young people. Those of us in the middle with kids are loosing our jobs and what little pension we've saved. Mine is a tenth of what it needs to be by the time I retire in 30 years and is still 10% down from last year.
Jumping the gun here. This is a drop in the ocean. Let's see what it's like next year will mass unemployment. That'll hit every age group.
good
Work LESS to work ALL & live BETTER Angela Merkel wants : ' a 4-HOUR working day, more the increased participation of EMPLOYEES-CUSTOMERS-USERS-SUPPLIERS in the decisions & management of the company to the EQUAL of shareholders & managers. An INVENTIVE & HYPERACTIVE economy '
Postponing dreams, having trouble to find jobs that pays you well, not being able to start life properly as we always had been taught. Just to name a few. Mentally I doubt that there’s someone 100% anxiety free. Super nice starting your adult life like this 🥲
Oh do you care now
Young people
It affects long term goals by exhausting all our savings and investments !
Lockdowns are the deliberate destruction of the economy and everyone responsible including media will be held accountable.
good luck
It sucks.. this forced economic shutdown will cause more long term harm than good..
95% only bad news(
The rates are dropping, thanks to Trump.
I can't even find job opportunities where I live
God's Kingdom seeks workers too.
I don't think this only involves the young today.
good luck
we used to go door to door asking if we could do any little jobs for a few pence . anyone younger than 40 seems to be workshy ...
Funny if a young person replied ‘I used to make a living selling my stories until newspapers started persuading people on Twitter to give them away for nothing.’
I am a live sound engineer, so, you do the math
UK only?
Another question for an article already written
just remember the tories take no blame
IF young people were too respect the virus and the rules perhaps many of them would now have jobs.

I can't get a job
There are no jobs . You're about as trust worthy as a robber at a gas station who is homeless and starving. You used julian Assange and it's your fault he is in prison because you did it. You let the war logs out first. But say zero.karma is a BI TCH

good
well they don't have jobs... what the hell do you mean how.
'..I can't get work, even though 26,000 vacancies on the HARVEST TRAIL EXIST.., please help..' Stoned dude .
Well I'm unemployed. That's how's it's affecting me.
Oh get over it. You have time. Some day your robot overlords will hunt you down or make you deliver them Uber oil for food.
Well I'm unemployed. That's how's it's affecting me.

We could end the pandemic in 2 months. Capitalism kills imagination. There's no better proof that the reaction to the pandemic by the most capitalistic systems. Here's why: These cannot conceive of strategic long term planning that doesn't make a profit.
First it was the Tories that done me out of a job now it's a virus and now we face more competition for jobs with migrants
It makes me wanna go to unlicensed raves and stab people
Anyone who can't find a job isn't looking hard enough. Not a strict truth. But the correct mindset
Young people don't read your paper
Same as everyone else who is affected.
They're not. Corrupt government systems are
Very bad. Especially if one spent some several years studying hoping to get better opportunity after graduating
Existential dread
No government shows me a future.
give me 1 million dollars I exposed joe biden. I have a very secret and strong evidence against joe biden. This is best time.
No job bro
Who will you report it to?
better ask middle aged ones who lost their jobs...
to what extent should folk lose their jobs for ineffective strategy by RishiSunak and BorisJohnson .
I m idle
Um... like...rising unemployment rates affect me because, like, ummmm. Ok, listen to me, it's like when I was...er, no, no...ok, but no...it, like super affects me by me not having employment rates...like never...
Welcome to the 'pointless jobs' merry-go-round my unfortunate young friends. At least you'll be helping to keep unemployment figures down while doing meaningless tasks for minimum wage. Yet another re-hash of old schemes that didn't create REAL jobs. Good Luck.
Didn’t have a secure job before the pandemic, highly doubt I’ll find one afterwards. Have never owned a home before, despite being 30, highly doubt I’ll get to own one now. Haven’t been able to go back to work. Haven’t receive a single dime in unemployment benefits.
Mr Sunak, what about those in the age group 50- 60? I feel they are hardest hit! RishiSunak
Can't buy Hellmann's mayonnaise anymore. I can only afford own-brand now.
Can’t get a job mate.
I used to go to the bank, now I’m home at a wank.
