Twenty Six Thousand Scottish residents to face a Second Christmas in Unemployment

Posted on Wednesday, 21 December 2011 in Latest NewsA new study released by the STUC has estimated that 26,000 people living in Scotland will be unemployed for a second consecutive Christmas.

On delivering the results, the general secretary of the STUC advised "Another 12 months of complacency will leave Scotland with a legacy of persistent, structural unemployment with all its associated human, social and financial costs."

On the same story, Ken MacIntosh, an MSP for Labour was reported as saying "Behind every statistic, there is a person suffering the indignity of being out of work and a family losing their income."

Trust Deed Scotland, a leading introducer of ethical debt advice is helping residents of Scotland to deal with their personal debts and the Scottish owned and operated company have given advice and recommendations for individuals with debt including help with debt arrangement schemes and protected trust deeds.

A senior analyst for the company with a head office based in Glasgow advised "We are not surprised that these figures have been published. All too often this year, we have heard heart-felt stories from individuals about how an unexpected change in circumstance such as a loss of income has affected those involved so much so that an unmanageable unsecured debt level has accrued. Many of these people have children and have no realistic imminent employment future.

On a more positive pre-Christmas note, many more thousands of Scots individuals are using government legislation to manage their debts and get their finances back on-track."
