Mr Grayling, employment minister, called upon companies to employ more often ‘people from a poor background’, earlier by PM David Cameron referred to as hoodies, instead of moving jobs to low-wage countries. He opposes the people who rage against the government’s work experience scheme, possibly including unpaid work experience. According to Mr Grayling, young people should not expect that jobs come on a plate, and therefore they cannot afford to pick and choose but the youngsters have to work their way up from the bottom. He also stated that employers who give ‘hoodies’ an opportunity to work at their company might be surprised to find some genuine gems for their company.
I do agree with Mr Grayling, as a society Britain has to put time and money in place for young people who have fewer chances than others because of poverty. Apart from that, it is equally important that employers overcome prejudice feelings towards young people from different backgrounds. I think it is legitimate to ask employers to offer jobs, experience and guidance to the unemployed in Britain instead of appointing people from abroad. As a consequence, the young unemployed are to be expected to work hard and persevere. Hoodies are warm, nice and flexible.
