WHEN New Deal was introduced, I said what a good idea it was to help the long term unemployed back to work, or words to that affect.
I now find some employers offering their vacancies to New Deal claiments only. This, in my opinion, is wrong. While I am in favour of helping long term unemployed back to work, it should not be at the expense of other jobseekers such as myself.
