How much in actual figures, rather than non-specific generalisations, please?

Re: Unemployment is rising
I'm paying the price for not working for 3 years because of looking after a relative who was ill. As soon as I got back into a job, I tore cartilage and ligament in my knee which has meant I now cannot do warehouse work again. I've applied for every job going, but with a big 3 year gap for when I looked after my relative I am getting nowhere.
I'd settle for a job that pays just over minimum wage.

It depends on where you live, for example how high house prices and rail fares etc
The money to live a comfortable lifestyle on is higher in London and the Southeast than lets say the Northeast of England

I don't live in other places in the UK, so I don't' know what the prices in those arreas are, but lets take how much you have to earn to afford a morgage for example
Where I live you need to be a rather high earner
I would let workersa themselfs deside how much they need to earn to have a comfortable lifestyle and how they are going to get it

How do you know your definition of 'comfortable living' is universal?

What is a comfortable lifestyle though? Does it include car ownership? What kind of car? Does it include eating out? Does it include huge tv in the lounge?

Re: Unemployment is rising
In the words of Jeremy Paxman - just answer the question, Alan...
Where you live, how much would people need to earn, after tax, to be 'comfortable'?

So you want be ask 60 million people (along with a lot of illegal immigrants) how much would they need to earn to have a comfortable lifestyle
I would also need to know the prices and other goods they buy as well, along with tranport costs, fuul bills and etc
How will I get all that info from that many people and people in hiding from the law?
