Gascoigne: These figures paint a bleak picture
Executive director at recruitment consultants Badenoch & Clark Matt Gascoigne says today's unemployment figures demonstrate it is get harder and harder to get a job:
"Today's employment figures have continued to paint a bleak picture for the UK workforce.
"Unsurprisingly, the public sector is bearing a considerable brunt of the pain with the austerity measures continuing to take their toll.
"This has been further highlighted in our close dealing with the public sector where we have seen the housing sector hit the hardest.
"The trend for employers to be ever more picky about skills and experience shows no sign of abating, making the process of finding work much tougher for job seekers in both the public and private sectors."
