UNEMPLOYMENT ISSUES: Is this country (England) going down the gutter?

I am in the same situation and I have a list of qualifications and 30 years experience and 10 years of that experience was doing what your brother done but 5 years ago i got out of that and found a more rewarding job and gained more experience and qualifications but I find that most of the jobs are going to foreign workers, I cant even get a cleaning job because of the foreign workers. I already take the medication for depression and cant sink any lower and the debts are piling up because I am divorced and find it hard to survive on �67 per week benefit. Good Luck.
