There are people over 40 who have worked since 16 full time and through no fault of their own, have been made redundant and have little chance of finding employment that pays even a 'liveable wage'. The job centre and Government policy have no interest in helping these people get jobs that pay a living wage , all they want to do is get them 'off the books' and force people who have paid Tax and National Insurance in most cases for many years in to any employment regardless of whether it is suitable. I am a victim of this very unlikely to ever get a reasonable job despite working from 16 years of age to 40 . I am very lucky that I do not have to work for minimum wage and can be supported although I feel 'sick' that I am technically unemployable to do anything worthwhile.
I know my posts tend to annoy people, I am just a bit gutted this evening thinking about it.

To think that anyone over 40 who gets made redundant and has very limited academic qualifications will never get a job that pays over £6.50 Per Hour.
