   It really sucks to be working age in the UK. Unemployed or economically inactive because:-
   - Too young and inexperienced
   - Too old and over-experienced
   - Long term sick
   - Nobody's hiring
   - The only jobs are zero hours, gig economy
   - Your white collar job got "replaced" by AI or just dropped
   - No more work from home and the job is now 150 miles away
   - Day care for the kids is too expensive
   - Brexit means the Euro job has gone

     Vacancies down. Salaries down. Unemployment up. Long term economically inactive up. Long term sick up.

     Austerity up. Basic goods Inflation up. Interest rates still too high.

     That's a recession, right?
