Well unfortunately it's the sectors that tend to soak up those people that are having a bit of trouble at the moment so that's distribution that's manufacturing and that's construction and a bit of retail as well so when they recover I think you'll start to see those going on but also there's a shift in the trends for hiring that we've seen so those neat numbers have been rising steadily for about six or seven years now when the current government came in they were in 12s now it's at 14. 14 and a half, so those young people aren't getting picked up out of the schools and polytechs and universities. There's a post-COVID bubble that worries employers that they're just not work ready, and there's another trend with the very high and rapid shifts in the minimum wage. Employers are looking to people with one or two years of proven experience in the workplace, paying them a dollar or two or more an hour rather than looking to those young people coming in.
