Many of those vacancies are not actually ‘vacancies’. They are rolling adverts for casual and temporary staff, often on 0 hour contracts with no terms of engagement or termination.
I agree I remember the ‘available jobs’ when I was on UC.
100% correct and this issue is never addressed!
Exactly, every big factory or warehouse nowadays has an office exclusively for the temping agency to use, being on site due to the amount of shop floor staff that are merely temps.
They are banning zero hour contracts to be fair
This might be true, but I can also tell you for a fact that there are a huge amount of highly skilled, well paid jobs, that can’t be filled because of the appalling skill shortage in the U.K.. I work in the tech sector, a well paid sector however you measure it. At any one time there has been somewhere between 90,00 and 120,000 vacancies in the sector.
In software development (my discipline) it’s estimated that there are as many as 60,000 vacancies. If as a country we cannot produce enough people for an industry that typically pays anywhere between £40,00 and £100,000 or more. Then what hope is there for the country…
Ferrari is such a joke of a journalist
Why? Because he asked the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many vacancies there are?
@@andyquelch5754 yes, acting as if it's some sort of gotcha moment, but it's not. If he were a serious journalist, he would grill the minister on policy and create an argument as to why the policy would/wouldn't benefit the issue.
Instead he plucks a statistic and stages the interview as if it's a pop quiz
@@ColourfulAnimals It's time these political clowns of all hues were held up to account. She should know the answer.
@andyquelch5754 - Why is that single number, on its own, so important/relevant? What can be done with that information? Surely it's more relevant to understand which sectors are lacking what experience/ expertise, and what is required to fulfil them?
Ferrari stayed 900k vacancies - would that be permanent positions or short term? Are they positions that require specific training, certain education level or can you simply fill the role with anyone who's unemployed?
Come on - things are not as simple as you're making out! If you want simple, Reform are looking for suckers!
@@andyquelch5754 She wasn't wrong. She said hundreds of thousands. And he confirmed it.
What do you want to hold accountable?
Perhaps we keep getting bad governments because we treat interviews like pub quizs. Number of jobs on the market is just too vague a concept.
Gammon Ferrari loves to complain whilst on his £70,000 per month salary
Is that a real figure?
@@michaelcolbourn6719No.
@@michaelcolbourn6719I thought he got more.
@@michaelcolbourn6719 as of 2022 so who knows how much he is on now a day's :(
What on Earth has that got to do with it?
That is a ridiculous figure to attempt to gotcha a politician on.
Why? She should know that figure. It's a basic requirement of her job. If a Tory didn't know the exact figure the left would have attacked them and rightly so.
... who inherited the years old problem only a month ago.
And there was no gotcha moment at all. She said hundreds of thousands, and he confirmed that it is hundreds of thousands.
She wasn’t caught out… she gave a full and frank answer.
Why havent you filled 900,000 jobs within 2 weeks of being in government
I was checking comments for this very reason. I thought for sure it had to be an old interview. She should have called him out on it.
I had tae sign on for a while when I was between jobs. Had tae go tae the Job Centre in Portree, which was an hour and a half drive. After I was logged in, I asked tae use their job listing machines.
After I had gone through every job they had, I went back tae the staff, and asked them if they were aware that the jobs they were advertising were all in Glasgow, London and Saudi Arabia? They gave me very sheepish smiles and told me tae just keep looking.
This was the job centre in Portee, Isle of Skye.
I found work later in time, no thanks tae them.
Someone should ask him how much a pint of milk is.
Easy to say there are loads of jobs available but if they are not where you live and your children are in school you can’t move around the country like a nomad when the next job again means moving around the country.
Those educAted in private school to fail to see the whole picture for ordinary families
Being educated in a private school has literally nothing to do with this. And by the way, the vast majority of people sending their kids to private schools are ordinary working folk who are doing their best for their kids. Take the blinkers off. Also, she should have a vague idea of the figure since it's literally her job.
@@DS76204 'she should have a vague idea of the figure....' Dude! Relisten - she stated 'hundreds of thousands' - I think it's YOU who needs to take their 'blinkers off'!!
@@MrSpanks That's not knowing the figure though is it? Now do you want someone who's guessing or someone who clearly knows the brief?
@DS76204 theyre definitely not 😂😂 ordinary working people where I'm from, i.e lower middle class or working class, cannot afford tens of thousands of pounds to educate their children
@@reevs2153 What do you mean "working class"? I work, I send my kids private, I'm not earning megabucks. So yes, ordinary folk manage to do it, and they do it with the best of intentions, usually to give their children an opportunity they didn't have, or were prevented taking by the swathes of people for whom education means nothing, and are willing to mess up on a daily basis for everyone else.
Excellent answer
She's giving me hope. I hate hope as they always seem to let us all down. I do hope they're not like the Tories in that regard.
Nick, grow up! In the number of days Labour (of whomI'm not a supporter and didn't vote for!), have been in governement, they cvan't fix EVERYTHING, in that time. Give them time to fix everyhtng the Tories did to this country!
900,000 vacancies. If i put as many as 3 filters on my indeed search i get 2 vacancies. And they want IT skills, a driving licence, a degree in humanities, a DBS and me to stand in a bucket of eels on the third full moon of Whitsuntide
Not sure what the of this short is driving at. She said 'hundreds of thousands' then said she doesn't know the exact number. It's 900k. Not like she bluffed it and was off by millions.
When I was job searching for part time work, i must have applied to 100 different adverts, hundreds were applying for these minimum wage jobs I only got about 2 responces in the end the rest denied me immediately.
This is coming from someone who has brillaint GCSE's and applied litteraly the day the adverts were relseased
If im advising the Labour government, id tell them not to go on the Ferrari show. It's actually quite naive of them to go there. Labour should refuse to play games with right wingers or to give them legitimacy
I have mental health issues and she can not help
Make education free so people can gain the skills needed. Why did we need 1000s of Eastern Europeans? Because they get trained for free.
How can you even measure that 😂 where did the 900k job listings come from? It's not like there's a list of all available jobs in the UK. Pathetic gotcha
Is he really so out of touch that he doesn't have a clue about the various, and often conflicting, factors that impact the employability of individuals?
Ferrari loves gotcha questions on numbers that don't need to be remembered. Psudo Journo
Really like nearly every labour minister..this one is useless
Every time a Labour person is interviewed they never know the figures. Don’t they prepare for interviews?
"It's the same story regardless of who is in power."
The last government had people with skills sat in hotels like dentist doctors lawyers etc but because they came via boat because as we know we have no agreement with Afghanistan iran Russia and others they were denied the opportunity to work. Had they been verified and there skills confirmed then they should of been allowed to work and contribute to there own costs reducing the burden on tax payers. Its absolute disgusting that its now labour who are taking the Blame for something they had no control over just like prisons
National insurance is increased from a couple hundred to thousands, wheres that gone? Probably her salary more likely
You know she's only just started the job and ministers are on a set salary. Look to the tories for the missing billions
You know it was not them the put that up did you?
Could have asked a better question like “what’s the proof of the Riemann hypothesis?”
He's such a Tory , 😂 ask your mates how many jobs there is as they never knew as well as didn't create any DECENT paid jobs neither.
This woman along with the rest of the clowns that are running this country into the ground.
A lot of ‘marketing’ jobs turn out to be unpaid, commission based only roles for door to door sales. A lot of jobs are misleading.
Oh ffs. "How many, what number, you can't give me an exact number? scandalous!"
The Ferrari approach to gotcha journalism.
Shame he wasn't this on the ball with Boris 😂
Do mp's ever learn that you never go on Nick Ferraris show without numbers
He’s on 70k per month and the likes of him have the cheek to mock linekar for being on the same gravy train.
Next question, what is the wing flight velocity of an unladen sparrow?
WHY CAN YOU NOT ANSWER THIS SIMPLE QUESTION 😂
European or African sparrow?
True story
African or European??
What is your favourite colour?
@@steveozone4910 Nicks is blue 🤔
Even if all jobs were filled,there would be still unemployed,not enough jobs for everyone.
Will only get worse,as jobs get automated.
They can never give you the exact numbers. I have seen this so many times on different things from job vacancies, climate change, vaccines etc.
How many car headlights are currently on your street? What? You don't know!? Scandalous!
It is hard when you are in government
The jobs that are available are dead end low paying work
Most of the time when you apply for a job they say you didn't get the job because you don't have enough experience which you can't get if you don't get given a chance
Because they pay minimum wage
Sack Kendall Starmer !
Most are poverty minimum wage jobs and people are asked to do way to much now a days just to get theses jobs .
How can our children leave school without any skills at all that this country needs and the thousands of jobs are for qualified doctors nurses skilled social workers or those with experience most business are not insured to employ disabled or have the facilities and instead of giving our school leavers who would be protected by the minimum wage they want immigrants that work for far less. We've heard labour's plans for them better training better pay and housing what about our school leavers.
She just told you. "Our skills [preparation] system is not working, we need to overhaul it". Plus give young people childcare, healthcare for themselves and parents they might be homecaring, give them transport to and from work and match provided skillsets with vacancies.
Should there be minimum wage and protections there too? Sure, and maybe there are. She was asked about the _causes_ of unemployement, that wasn't in the scope of her answer.
Near on Every "Entry" level job requiresba minimum of 5 years working experience in the field.
There are 37 "entry" level cleaning job in my area. The least requirement heavy of these still require a Diploma and 4 years cleaning experience. And even with all of those hurdles that require money to get, you still only get minimum wage
I don’t like Ferrari but I think she should know how many job vacancies there are in her position
She does. It just isn't one number. Ferrari's answer was only partial, this much in this period of time (according to this count, by these sortings and definitions). Do you want a lecture on this from her? She was also about to give a partial answer, but Nick didn't let her.
We've got half of Africa coming over at the moment , the care service is heaving with them and the agency's
Labour Party’s answer to Nadine Dorries
Just keep importing them over seas seems to be going swimmly at the moment
She is still wrong in what she says
And this is why legal migration is so high. Companies need workers who will work. We have large swathes of the UK living on benefits/ universal credit. Going to work just isn’t worth their while. They’re mostly labour voters? So labour will tax tory voters to pay for their supporters? 😂
It's not because benefits is more generous than working jobs.
It's for many other reasons - like she says, lack of childcare, lack of skills, lack of housing in the right areas, waiting for medical treatment on an NHS waiting list ...
All these things impact people's ability to work and earn money. And if that means they end up on benefits, it's certainly not because they are lazy. It's because society has been progressively, deliberately and maliciously defunded for years.
Proof: there would be more childcare, if there had been more funding. There would be shorter NHS waiting lists if there had been more funding. There would be more local jobs if local infrastructure was better funded. It would be easier to move to an area where there were more jobs available if housing was more affordable.
All politicians from parlzmrvtvmust fill this vacancies and get paid what rest of prole get paid
Another muppet in power
Did I hear her say mental health support to get people into jobs. 😅 skills. Most are no skill jobs paying min wage with no future.
Dianne Abbott moment..
Training
You cant say anything anymore
Are certain jobs barred from white stright christian males because of diversity quoter
No, Daniel. They aren't.
Caught out?
Nick is a quantity man ‘How many’ ‘How big’ ‘ How long’ ? 14 years of hurt can’t be turned round in 2 weeks. He should lower his expectations 😅
Well hopefully when Labour give "leave to remain " to all the Economic Refugees crossing by Boat. Perhaps these young Muslim men can work in Care, Nursing etc ? 😂
This woman has no clue.
Well I would do Uber eats Amazon set up a car wash barber shop etc can I do this. By the way I’m white british though. 7 interviews at Amazon never landed one
Because benefits rules are relaxed. MP’s don’t want to upset the benefit vote! Secondly… interviews are ridiculous process… for a basic minimum paid job you have to interview like you are going to run a company!
🤔🥴🤥😁🤦🏼♂️🤷🏻♂️
Typical Labour politician clueless
