The Prince's Trust; Prince Charles' charity have just this week published a report which reveals the full extent of long term unemployment among young people and how much worse it has become in recent years. as I have mentioned being unemployed when you are young causes real damage and longer term problems later in life. See Lost Generations: http://inmyshoesnorthlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/lost-generations_17.html
The number of 18 - 24 year olds claiming JSA for at least six months has risen by 315% THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN PER CENT in the recession. In August 2008 the number stood at 40 360. In October 2012 it stands at 167 580.
As regards long term unemployment the figures aren't much better: In 2008 there were 38 550 18 - 24 year olds who had been out of work for more than TWO years. By July this year that figure had risen to over 100 000. An increase of 170 %. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY PER CENT

I am shopping lover. Recently i bought nine west from myntra with flat 20% discount. They have awesome collection of nine west shoes on all sizes. I also checked it out for my younger brother who lives in Mumbai so i wanted to gift one for him because he loves Nine west shoes. But my budget was out of reach. Thanks to coupongangs where i got myntra.com coupons of Rs 500 on purchase of Rs 2500. Now I can order.
