NorthernLights24 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Unemployment in Dundee has risen to its highest level since 1998 with more than 6,000 people in receipt of job seekers allowance. Official figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) put the city's unemployment rate at 6.5%. Politicians have claimed that Dundee now has the highest rate out of Scotland's four biggest cities. Dundee - 6.5 % Glasgow - 6.1% Edinburgh - 3.3 % Aberdeen - 2.3 % http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-19294533 1 1 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's a false stat cos they class buskers, big issue sellers & "watch yer car furra pound mister?" as employed in glasgow, in fact they go as far as to class them as career persons. Where as these people (in other cities) are classed as scum by normal folk & best avoided. 2 3 Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 You class buskers, Big Issues sellers and young kids trying to make a pound as 'scum' ????? F&D is very well to do Rumpus. (Posh) I think they're scum as well as it happens. The ones not from where they're begging anyway. Never met an Aberdonian Big Issue seller in Aberdeen in my life. 1 1 Link to comment

Was there something in my post that gave some doubt on that opinion? Also think charity muggers are & all these people's sympathisers Link to comment
chaos_defrost Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 At least the Big Issue sellers are doing something to earn their money and not just sitting on the street Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Nothing in your post gave any doubt at all Sir.... Also gave no doubt that you are a self righteous, conceited arse either. 2 Link to comment
