Unemployment Is Up Again In The North

I see according to new figures unemployment has increased again in the North. It now stands at 59,000 for March. Estimates for December 2010 - February 2011 show that 47.2% of those unemployed in the North have been unemployed for one year or more. And the unemployment rate for 18-24 year olds is 20.3% this is a disgrace and is it not about time our politicians did something about it.
