Aspects of labour market failure

I have been researching some video clips for a presentation on labour market failure at the Tutor2u revision workshops - here are a couple of good ones. This BBC report looks into exploitation of migrant workers by a gangmaster business which has had its licence revolked. And Hugh Pym reports on the rising level of relative poverty in the UK despite sixteen years of economic growth. Finally this clip comes a series of progammes from BBC South East on ‘Breadline Britain’.
