But what is actually happening is that unemployment is either stagnant or it is increasing. When names are removed because your JSA allowance is stopped-for whatever reason, then you do not count that person in the figures for unemployment. Hence the 'Drop'. Looks great on paper, but it is not real.

Another way in which our government hides the true level of unemployment is that when a claimant reaches 60 they are placed on Pension Credit. When this occurs they don't have to attend the Jobcentre and therefore they are removed from the unemployed register.

Staff at Jobcentres have set targets each week where they must place claimants they believe are not doing enough to find work on to sanctions. When on a sanction the claimant does not receive JSA and they are also removed from the unemployed register.

Any idea what Covid has done to this egregious form of slavery? Bad analogy. Slaves were fed and housed. Like being a sheepdog; come when I whistle, and starve if I don't.
