Urgent jobs action needed
The Government must address the deterioration in the labour market as a matter of urgency, the TUC said as August's jobs figures showed that unemployment was rising once again.
The increase in the jobless tally underlined the weakness in the labour market, with the number of vacancies down to levels last seen in 2009. The TUC added that the stagnating economy would mean further rises in unemployment in the months ahead.
Female unemployment was at a 23-year high, and with public sector job losses mounting, the employment prospects for many women were looking bleak. The unwelcome return of rising youth unemployment was another worrying feature of the new figures, with more than one in five young people out of work.

TUC highlights growth fears
Official figures released in the weeks leading up to Congress confirmed fears that recovery in the UK economy remains sluggish at best.
Figures showing growth of just 0.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2011 were evidence that government policies were failing, the TUC said.
Earlier in August, the TUC reacted with concern to the Bank of England's announcement that it no longer expected the economy to grow this year as quickly as was previously thought.
