Jobs crisis - tell us your story

Cameron and Osborne are taking a reckless gamble with our economy, and with people’s lives – and the gamble’s not paying off.

Their austerity measures are not only cutting the services we rely on, and the pensions that give us dignity in retirement - they’re also responsible for putting thousands of people out of work.

The latest unemployment figures show that youth unemployment is at a record high - with over a million young people out of work.

The Tories like to talk tough about paying down the deficit, but by putting tens of thousands of people on the dole - claiming benefits instead of paying taxes - their sums simply don’t add up. They're making it harder to get the deficit down, and are set to borrow billions more than they planned.

That's why we're starting a new campaign to tell the real stories of this jobs crisis. If you have lost your job, or if you are worried about the future for you or your family, we want you to speak out.

Together, we have to make Cameron and Osborne realise how many lives are being ruined by the jobs crisis they have caused with their reckless gamble with the economy. Will you help us?
