        Unemployment is no longer a good measurement for poverty...having a job is no longer a guarantee of being able to sustain yourself.

        I would count as employed with my agency but haven't had work since February. Hugely misleading.

        This is just a reduction of people signing onto Jobseeker's Allowance, mainly because they are being rejected!
