Posted: 01:23 - 21 Feb 2020 Post subject: Economically Inactive |
|
|
Are you "economically inactive"?
If you are, what field of work are you looking forward to entering, fruit picking, labouring, care work or in hospitality maybe?
A government mouthpiece said:-
Quote: | "staff shortages can be dealt with by training the 8.5 million people who are economically inactive". |
As a member of the "economically inactive", and a fully signed up member of the the idly early retired club, I shall continue idling my time away with things I want to do.
What I won't be doing is applying for some, shitty, minimum wage job, picking fucking turnips!
Yet another tranche of bollox from barmy Boris's think tank! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

I think neeps are lifted.
Strawberries, apples etc. would be the picking job.
I hope this helps. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

The economic conditions are very bad in the country as people look toward the government to serve them with some relief but according to my opinion there are many ways to benefit the people there should be startup programs for graduate students and companies should provide discounts. like there are different websites like https://verifiedcouponcode.com/ that provides discounts and other option so this can help the people |

If I was a UK citizen, living in the UK, I'd learn whatever labour/craft the EU imigrants did. IF the borders get closed and the cheap EU labour goes home, I bet the UK gov. will take whatever measures to support the market, local craftsmen, such as setting the limits on the minimum wages at this area of the job market.
So, knowing how to do stuff with your hands could turn very fruitful in a few months, years. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Everyone uses loads of them and has been for a long time. Stobarts on/off/on/off demise is for other reasons.
In some sectors of the industry it's over 40% of the workforce. A few years ago when I was planning deliveries to a large discount retailer from an RDC I was using 60% agency every day, at least 2/3rds of those drivers were Polish.
Like other Industries they tend to do the shit/long hours/anti social hours jobs (often pay well, Brits are just too workshy). So if they all fecked off expect parcel networks, pallet networks, supermarkets, out and in town retail to grind to a halt quickly, fast moving consumer goods will take a real kicking. Stores will struggle to adapt to it, in their rush to turn stock rooms in to floor space retailers have made their outlets dependent on high delivery frequencies.
To further make working around it hard, much of the spaces you could put railway goods yards on edges of towns, to remove the need for so many HGV drivers, have been turned in to....... out of town retail parks
As most of the haulage is not done by retailers but contracted out profit margins are tiny, so they can't even push wages to silly levels to draw people in.
Other sectors will take a battering too but some will be better placed to take a profit hit and pay more, which in turn will ream out the other bits harder.
I often tell people, the best £2-3k you can invest is in licence training and tests for C, C+E and Driver CPC. You will never be unemployed (assuming you retain 1 arm and 1 leg), you will always find a comfortable pay cheque. It's the ultimate employment safety net and the more EU drivers leave the more gold plated that net becomes. |

That is an interesting, yet somehow controversial idea. Forced labour would be bad for the British international relationships/image, so the only way would be paying the prisoners fair wages and to make the labour their own ''free'' choice, which is something that might be already a thing in the UK, it is in Czech rep. Prisoners in Czech rep. make, for instance, the furniture for the public sector use.
OR use the USA model, using the ''penal labour'', making the labour a punishment, which is legal over there. It is funny though, as USA won't allow any forced labour made goods to enter the USA market while this is completely alright. It's also perhaps the only actually ''Made in USA'' stuff there is these days. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
