Unemployment has reached its highest level in nearly two decades as 114,000 more people joined the dole queues.
In an abysmal day for Britain, youth unemployment has hit a record high of 991,000, and the number of people claiming Jobseekers Allowance increased for the seventh month in a row, reaching 1.6 million.
Overall full time employment fell by 178,000 to 29.1 million, and that at a time when we're seeing an increasing population and a continuing influx of foreign workers.
Disastrous as that figure may be, it's much worse when the increasing number of people in the UK is taken into account.
Part time employment dropped 175,000 to 7.78 million people.
Those classified as economically inactive increased by 26,000 to reach 9.35 million.
Approximately 150,000 people have been made redundant in the last 3 months.
Long term unemployment - classified as those out of work for a year or more - rose by 60,000 to 867,000.
We bleed jobs, we import workers, our jobs market is a scandalous and collapsing shambles which sees the British worker disenfranchised at every turn.
ConDem had better have some damn good spin doctors if they want to get anything positive out of this news.
Even if they manage to put a good shine on it all, it's only gloss on the truth - the net result of Labour, and ConDem, is an economy in tatters and workers out of jobs.
It's another Big in Camerons Big Society, ever Bigger dole queues.
