Yesterday the U.K. Daily Mail<\/a> posted an article about what is happening to the British workforce–it is growing and unemployment is going down!<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A record 3,100 people every day are finding work as Britain\u2019s<\/a> jobless total falls at the fastest rate in 17 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of unemployed tumbled to 2.32million \u2013 falling by 167,000 between September and November, the biggest drop since 1997.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday the Office for National Statistics<\/a> said the unemployment rate is now at 7.1 per cent after falling faster than any economist or the Bank (Bank of England<\/a><\/span>) predicted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…In an unusually political statement, the Bank also said the Coalition\u2019s benefits clampdown may have pushed more people into looking for work, rather than continuing to rely on State handouts. It said: \u2018A tightening in the eligibility requirements for some State benefits<\/a> might also have led to an intensification of job search.\u2019\u00a0<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Congress<\/a> in America<\/a> is debating extending unemployment benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Statistics have shown that people collecting unemployment insurance tend to intensify their search for work as their unemployment benefits begin to run out. Extending unemployment or increasing welfare benefits<\/a> does not encourage people to join the work force<\/a>–it destroys motivation. In most cases, it is simply more fun not to have to get up and go to work every morning. When the government subsidizes not working, more people don’t work. I am not saying that we should end unemployment or welfare, but we should put enough restrictions on both to prevent generations of America who have not grasped the concept of working for a living. America needs to follow the example of Great Britain.<\/p>\n
