Young Jobless Close To 1M

Official data shows that youth unemployment has risen, over 700,000 18-24 year-olds and 206,000 16-17-year-olds are now jobless.

These of course are the official figures.

Given that the government has long been "hiding" youth unemployment via numerous schemes (such as pushing youths into long term quasi "eduction" which has no real benefit to the youth), it can safely be assumed that the reality is much worse.
