HMRC: Employment Figures are Fake

HMRC: Employment Figures are Fake

Statistics about employment figures are the biggest con in history:

• People who are in temporary employment and often earning amounts that are below legal standards are considered employed. 
• People who are on temporary and often unstable and predictable employment are classified as employed.
• People who are on Zero Hour Contracts who never know how much they are going to earn and/or how long or how often they will be able to work are classified as employed.

The records of those seen as employed are fake and have nothing to do with reality. HM Revenue & Customs HMRC are fake and have nothing to do with reality. HMRC doesn't have a clue about how many people are truly employed. By the time employment figures are released such employment figures do not reflect what is really happening. 

Her Majesty's Government couldn't care less as long as the ruling party can boast about positive figures and pretend that everything is fine and that we are moving forward.

The Welfare State is a mess but it is mess that was created on the basis of value for money. Different services were amalgamated as a way to reduce the number of public jobs. Taxation is a mess and the Welfare State is a mess. 

One of the direct consequences of such a mess is that more and more people are now in what is called the Black Economy. They are not registered anywhere, they are not paying taxes and many are paid a lot less than they should be paid because not been registered and working cash in hand they are not protected by existing legislation.

As always, VALUE FOR MONEY has turned into VALUE FOR RUBBISH.
