As this is the "latest" news today I thought I would leave it up.BBC NEWS There is now an average of 10 jobseekers for every vacancy advertised in the UK, the TUC has warned.
The situation is worst in the south east of England, where the trade union body said its research found 60 people chasing each job.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber told the Observer that the figures "were shocking", and showed the extent to which unemployment had risen.
The latest official data is due to show UK unemployment at two million.
It is due to be published on Wednesday by the Office for National Statistics.
Its most recent data showed that UK unemployment hit 1.97 million between October and December.
Mr Barber added that its figures "blow out of the water the government's claim that there are plenty of jobs available for people who are prepared to look".
Ooops, maybe I should get back to you another day.
