If you look at what he said, he said that 17% of UK households have no working adults. Now let's assume that the average UK household has 2 (I'm afra'id I can't find the true figure but this has to be close) working adults then that would require the employment to be at 66% or less. What I think hes used is the unemployment figures releasead by the conservative party two days ago which used highly inflated figures and incorrect models.
Conversely however, in research for this I did find a source that said 16% of UK households of working age did not have an employed member, but it went on to say that 42% of these households are either single parent housholds or people who live alone, so there is only one person of working age. So I wont count out the legitimacy of his claim, it just seems a bit inflated to me and that's why I think it was from the conservative estimations recently released.
Meh, things will soon start to pick up in our country again hopefully anyway.
On a side note (or just on topic) I hate how many people blame immigrants for taking away jobs. The only reason people blame immigrants is because they are terrestrial so they experience them first hand and so they are easy to blame. If these same people realised the magnitude that our labour was being outsourced to industrial countries such as China and India then they would soon change their tune towards them.
Outsourcing labour surely must cost more jobs than immigration.

16% or 17%. Quibbling over 1% seems silly.
As for outsourcing. Yeah that's the biggest thing Americans complain about. Not Immigration.
As for things picking up... not sure it will tter... unemployment of that level seems fairly standard based on the average europeon model of employment.
Now Denmark. They have an ingenious system... but i'm afraid it only works in small countries like Denmark that have mostly all their jobs focusing on the same things.

Well as I said it was converse to what I think, the 16% I found was a close to the 17% given by communist hater, I think that actual figure is lower, at 27% unemployment it sounds like it should be to me. Mind you that source I gave also said 42% of the households wth no working members had only one resident eligible to work so that may explain the statistical imbalance that I can't get my head around.
Yeah in a America I think outsourcing would have more focus than immigration over there because immigration is a little more strict, where as within the EU it is not strict at all. You hear a lot of tabloid talk about immigrants in this country, people bad mouthing the Polish about taking jobs away from workers and so on. However, this distracts people from the massive outsourcing that is happening which costs far more jobs than immigration possibly could.
