Abstract: Abstract British unemployment is higher than in any other large European country, and it is still growing. However, as Chart 1 shows, it has been at over 5 per cent since 1976. In this essay, I want first to discuss why unemployment has been so high for so long, and then to suggest what should be done about it.
