Unemployment goes up in seaside towns

Increased tourism in the UK is not stemming redundancy levels in the country's coastal resorts, according to new figures.

Research by the TUC found that unemployment levels in British seaside towns have gone up by more than 80 per cent in the last year.

Great Yarmouth was identified as one location to see a surge in job losses, with the annual unemployment rate rising by 49 per cent.

Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC, said this is despite the fact that many people from Britain are choosing to take domestic holidays this year.

"The economy remains in deep trouble with unemployment still set to carry on rising all through next year," he commented.

He described the problem as a "national emergency" and urged the government to avoid cutting public spending.

This comes after employment relations service Acas reported that in the last year, the number of employment tribunal cases has gone up significantly, while more people are also seeking advice on redundancy.
