Record unemployed

As someone who has spent waaay too much time unemployed in the past, here is a statistic I am extremely pleased not to be a part of.

"Unemployment has jumped by 92,000 to its worst level for six years, even though the number of people in work has reached a record high. A total of 1.68 million people were out of work in the three months to June, a quarter of a million more than a year ago" - The Guardian

A quarter of a million more people are unemployed than a year ago!! Thank Heavens I am not still one of them.
