UK construction output remains weak

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22120451


The UK has attempted for several months to improve their economic standing but through the construction industry, the future seems bleak. They've repeatedly tried to decrease unemployment through the construction sector but have failed to do so. The latest unemployment figures show that, despite a drop in the number of people out of work, many people are still looking for a job in the UK, like most countries these days. But what's surprising is that there are hundreds of thousands of job vacancies within the building industry at the same time!

  1. It is surprising that there are so many jobs available yet there are still so many people unemployed. I suspect that the unemployment benefits are too high and this is giving people a disincentive to go out and find work. Even if that is not the case I would still propose that unemployment benefits be decreased so that the unemployed have a higher incentive to go out and actively find jobs.
