By 1990, Thatcher was presiding over a dichotomy, decaying industrial cities in the north and a well developed southern economy. As a result, she was replace by John Major (Columbia Encyclopaedia, 2004).
By 2000, GDP was growing at a faster rate than unemployment, possibly due to the fact that Major had obtained an IRA cease-fire, so that Northern Ireland had at least some respite from draining the economy and culture. Indeed, direct rule by Great Britain was abolished in Northern Ireland in 1999, although home rule has resulted in substantial political manoeuvring (Columbia Encyclopaedia, 2004).
By 2005, unemployment was somewhat lower, but GDP had ceased to grow at the rate it enjoyed before 2001, the year of the terrorist attacks on New York City. While the United Kingdom was not directly affected by the attacks, as a partner with the United States in that nation's stand against the Taliban in Afghanistan, and later against Saddam Hussein in Iraq, the United Kingdom not only suffered from the need to spend money on warfare, as well as donating troops and equipment; it was faced with some rancour among its EU allies for its stance. It is probably this, in addition to a global slowdown, caused the relatively minor movement in both measures,...

Unemployment in the Recent Recession: A Comparison of Cyclical and Marxian Theories The recent (or ongoing) recession has affected the entire globe, though some countries have been harder hit than others.

Unemployment is considered to be a lagging indicator, but even so it would seem that the unemployment rate should be dropping faster than it is, now that economic recovery is underway. The current unemployment rate in the United States is 7.3%, up from 7.2% the month previous but otherwise at the lowest level since late 2008. This level is much higher than the pre-recession norm of 5% or lower Whether unemployment
Unemployment UK According to the Office of National Statistics, the unemployment rate in the UK currently sits at 8%, the highest figure since 1994. The unemployment rate has been in a range between 7.5% and 8.0% since early 2010. The current trends show that youth unemployment is at its highest level since 1992 and that there is no end in sight for the unemployment problem in the UK (Office for National
This is what has led to so many foreigners working in the country already. The foreign workers are therefore a symptom of a greater problem. This problem is not macroeconomic failure -- the Saudi economy is robust and creates jobs -- but is simply does not recognize that macroeconomic principles alone will not address the issue of unemployment among Saudi nationals.
