This morning on the BBC’s ‘Wake Up to Money’ they talked about this:
Growth in job vacancies hits ’15-year high’
That came from a report by KPMG
You would think that such a positive statement on the economy would be headline news….but the report on ‘Wake Up To Money’ was the last I heard of the subject.
It hasn’t been mentioned once as far as I know by the BBC in its news bulletins.
Not only that but there is this from the same report:
Pay growth at six year high amid growing skill shortages
Yet again not a mention on the news bulletins.
The BBC has been busy reporting this ‘top story’ though:
Other Top Stories
Supermarket for low-income families
A members-only supermarket for people on welfare support has begun trading, offering heavily-discounted products supplied by major retailers.
So….highest job vacancies for 15 years, pay growth at a 6 year high…and these are not ‘top stories’ for the BBC?
The BBC website does mention the job vacancies....not on the front page, not on the UK page, but hidden away on the business pages.
Maybe I’m just cynical but it does look like the BBC is only prominently reporting news that is intended to make the coalition look bad, the poor ever more oppressed by their policies and swamping the air waves with ever increasing ‘evidence’ of a ‘living standards crisis’….as illustrated in a previous post looking at how the BBC reported who was in poverty.
Quite clearly that is nonsense if jobs are at an all time high and wages are rising.
I listen to Wake up to Money every week day. I used to think Micky Clarke had his head screwed on the right way but over the years he has reverted to the BBC line and taken their shilling. Any news item that knocks the Government is given prominence.
You can bet your life that sooner or later they will use this to allay our irrational fears about more immigration though. Meanwhile, they are far too busy with their Mandela grief fest to condescend to provide us with any real news.
They NEVER give us real news , just the news they want us to hear and see, so we can continue our intensive re-education programme on the values acceptable to the liberal left.
I’m getting a bit weary with this “most people in employment ever”, “most vacancies in a 1,000 years” etc meme. Might the high number of people in employment/high number of vacancies have something to do with the fact that the population is far higher than it has ever been in history? Therefore wouldn’t percentage comparisons with the past actually be of more relevance?
I think your point just confirms what the government stats tell us – that all but a tiny percentage of extra jobs are taken by immigrants. We are running to stand still by virtue of importing the unemployment problems of Europe – that’s before you take into account the immigration from Africa and the Indian sub-continent.
You should though compare this to the ‘recovery’ in the USA. In the UK, despite immigration, Unemployment has not risen dramatically. In the USA there are fewer people working now than before. It’s been a jobless recovery, despite a population rise of of 16 million since the crash.
Add to that, the stat that 1 in 4 Americans in work apparently earns less than $20,000 (£14k) per year, while there has been the biggest transfer of wealth to the already asset rich in history.
This should tell you how far the problems the UK is experiencing is ‘Fed Led’ – i.e. an issue of the corruption of the money system and an asset boosting scheme. They print, so we must or we become a safe haven currency and exports die.
Where the US leads, unfortunately the UK gets swept in the tide because of the USA’s sheer economic size. But here Obama’s recovery is lionised. It’s a mirage – the US is the problem and they are destroying the international monetary system and have been for generations.
Met my local MP a few months ago and told him of my disgust of the BBC. He said he had a panel of local businessmen that met with the local BBC. BBC were only interested in the bad news stories even though the businesses were reporting increased order books etc.
And he planned to do what about this BBC bias, exactly?

No no no, this can’t be right. Some Marxist bint on Any Questions insisted that we are back in the age of the workhouse and the whole audience clapped in agreement. KPMG must have it wrong.
You should be lucky that it was broadcast today at all…… It was one of many scheduled programmes cancelled on Friday morning due to the Mandelathon.
