Source: hazel eyes So the Beijing Olympics is over and handed over to London for he 2012 games. How is this going to affect visits to London and job prospects over the next four years? Construction has already started on the Olympic stadium in London's East End in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games. UK Jobs For LocalsTargets have been set at between 10 - 15% of the construction workforce to be taken from the five host buroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets, Greenwich and Newham. So far these targets have been exceeded with20% coming from these London Boroughs - 10% having been previously unemployed. Are Sustainable Jobs A Reality? Overall 11,000 sustainable jobs have been promised to the area, which is good news for a struggling construction industry, if those promises are kept. The construction workers union, UCATT claim that agencies simply use the easiest and cheapest methods, resulting in many migrant workers being employed cheaply and exploited with long working hours. Only time will tell if the London Olympic targets will be achieved, or whether they will just be swept under the rug and forgotten about. To report this post follow the permalink abovePetrol Prices
Source: hazel eyes Petrol prices are on the drop again, thanks to a decrease in oil prices. The lowest I've found is 111.9p at Trago's in Newton Abbot - as my friend said to me, ya can't beat Trago. Unfortunately, I'd use a litre of petrol to get to Trago's from where I live, but there is hope, prices in Exeter are also dropping, a couple of places are 113.9p now - a drop of around 6p. Cracking Down FurtherThe Shell MasterCard from Citi Bank also offers 3% cashback on fuel from Shell garages, as well as 1% cashback on other shopping. Not a great amount, but in these days of looming recession, every penny helps. Jobs AhoyWith many feeling the pinch, many are turning to crap jobs they would not normally consider to keep their head above water financially. 'Gas guzzling' vehicles such as Land Rovers are doubly hit, not only does it cost a small fortune to keep them running, the bottom has dropped out of the second hand market. On the bright side, if you are fortunate to have cash ready, now is a great time to get good deals. To report this post follow the permalink above |
