The figure for Northern Ireland's unemployed has risen yet again.

By Úna Crossen

This means that 59,000 people are now claiming unemployment benefit.  According to these latest figures one in five 18-24 year olds are now on the dole.

This is set to rise further when hundreds of university and further education graduates start to seek employment in just over 2 months.  

With youth unemployment costing up to £4.5m a week this is clearly an issue that needs to be targeted.
