I've no dog in this fight but I do have to pick on this one.
Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or information. To ignore may lead to ignorance but it does not equal ignorance.
Now as you were. By the way, my dad can beat up your dads

Apparently to him, such information is not worth it.

Considering I was simply quoting statistics from a news article in regards to the topic of what the poster had posted, then ignoring my post (and therefore those stats) as the poster said he did is indeed lacking information or knowledge in this context.

I'm being needlessly pedantic but that's what I do.

Just getting back to the original post, the answer is still a big fat capitalised NO.

"The number of people in work, both full-time and part-time, reached a record high of 29.87 million in the quarter, up 155,000."
Otoh, we're seeing a pattern of the recovery in many western countries not leading to significant falls in unemployment. It's a troubling situation.

Re: Is the situation in the UK really that bad?
As I have posted earlier, it might be generally OK but if I, for example, were to attempt a return there is a good chance I'd be unemployed for a while. I'd not consider that 'not too bad', at least for the duration.
Did I really just type that ?
Yes, it should have. Why the hell was I thinking of plumbum?
