Employment
Based on the latest figures we have 1.5 million unemployed and 932,000 job vacancies.We need to start addressing this issue. Targetting people with lesser disabilities so they have access to jobs they can do. Look at progressively reducing benefits if a person has been out of work for more than 3 months. We all know people who have seemingly never worked without obvious reason. Getting people into work doubly benefits the country by reducing the benefits budget and increasing the tax income. This frees up funds for the NHS hospital building and new prisons. Our councils could also do a better job of collecting rent and council tax arrears.

So should the government target the fit unemployed or the sick? 1.5 million vacancies and nearly 6m unemployed or sick.
There are improvements that need to be made to encourage people back into work but vacancies can't be eliminated - there will always be vacancies (probably never below 500,000) because of the time taken to recruit and get someone in place after someone leaves/dies/ is sacked, and because people are in the wrong locations or vacancies require specialist skills (teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers, plumbers, electricians can't be filled by someone who's been unemployed for years and/or never done more than unskilled work)
