The UK labour market data will continue to weaken as the winter encroaches and this BBC magazine article is superb in covering the human side of joblessness. Links off the article are very useful too - who are the jobless and an excellent statistical supplement. A seasonal hat tip to Penny Brooks for spotting this new series of articles.

Links to two of my recent blogs on unemployment:
