The myths that refuse to die

Image
In my last post , I debunked the myth of the "reserve pool" of British workers. In this post , I discuss three more labour force myths that refuse to die:  the myth of the "tide of unskilled immigration" the myth of the falling participation rate, and  the myth of the "workless yoof".  There's also an update about my charity walk in the Lake District last Saturday, and a couple of pics.  Read the post here . It's free to read.
