IMO that's a bit short sighted. It's your company though, and it's better for me in the long run that you don't fully utilize your country's potential. :D

Everyone that works for me is a full time employee and is there to make me money 365 days a year minus weekends and holidays.

Oddly enough, the company I worked for many summers did some it's best month results during summer time when up 60% of staff were those lazy college kids. Apart from welding, in my experience everything else is quite simple in most manufacturing jobs. *i know it's not so easy everywhere.

There has to be, impossible to deal with every unemployed young person isn't it. So you have to go with the majority and the majority are lazy, stupid and given too much free money - hence why situation won't be solved.

Vouchers instead of cash would shake the system up, but of course that would be seen as degrading to the poor little souls ahh diddums.

Where is the evidence to support this claim?

troll troll troll

How many people have you interviewed for jobs recently?

How many long term young unemployed people do you deal with daily?

How many posts made by others on this very thread have you read?

You're not bringing anything of any worth to the discussion just trolling.

If the money wasn't enough they'd get a job wouldn't they, doh! QED they are getting too much if sitting around 24/7 is a viable life choice.

Bolton, you ask others to "Deal with the facts" and yet time & time again you have shown yourself unable or unwilling to do the same.

As part of a reasonable discussion I am simply asking you to support your claim that "the majority are lazy, stupid and given too much free money" with some facts.

Are you able to do so, or are you making another sweeping generalisation?

Why won't you answer my questions?

I am asking you what knowledge, experience etc you have of the average unemployed young person - so far you are proving beyond all doubt it is nothing / not a lot. Answer the questions.

and you never said what you did for a living either, come on answer the questions Mr Troll.

Can you tell me the difference re posting something to Dublin or Belfast would be from England?

Do you know how many grammes there are in a kilogram?

As the last 19 year old I employed didn't. And she had 6 GCSEs of C and above!!

A friend has a couple of bars so he employs a lot of young people, try a few of these for size

Australia is nearer Turkey and uses sterling

Don't know capital of France

Don't know who proceeded our current Queen

Don't know what shape a 50pence piece is

Can't change a wheel

Think that chips or Jaffa Cakes count as 1 of your 5 a day

And most of these are going to Uni FFS

But sorry I can not provide a link to the Guardian so must be making it all up.

Ahhhh, I get how this works:

Right, so it would be more accurate of you to have said "most of the unemployed young people I have dealt with have been poorly educated".

Out of interest what role were you employing them for? Was it as part of an apprenticeship? Work experience? Part-time work?

But surely not, as we are constantly being told by the Guardian that teachers are wonderful and exam results prove that!

But most of the things I mentioned I didn't learn at school, came from general discussions with those around me and at a very young age too.

Receptionist / secretary - so knowing how heavy something is and which Ireland is within the UK is kinda handy re posting something. Not exactly rocket science is it?

Still no answers to my questions, strange that in'it? :-)

Strange? No. Pointless? Yes.
