North-South Divide On Youth Unemployment

School leavers in Scotland are in for a harder time finding work than teenagers in the rest of the UK.

That's come out in a new report which says there's a north south divide when it comes to youth unemployment.

The number of young people out of work here's rising twice as fast as it is in London and the South East.

The latest stats also show in North Ayrshire alone there's been a 6 per cent rise in the number of tennagers on jobseekers in the last 5 years
