Encourage the UK government to take action on unemployment

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The rates of unemployment in the UK has rapidly increased, the rates spiking up by 4.8% during March. These rates are believed to higher up to 5.5% by Autumn. By signing this petition, you can help unemployment levels decrease, yet again balancing the UK's economy.
Due to the current pandemic, many have been pulled out of their jobs, increasing rates of unemployment. If this cause reaches the government's concern, it will economically benefit the UK seeing as jobs will be balanced, allowing citizens to make a living.
