Greek unemployment at record high Unemployment in Britain hit its highest in 15 years. The number of young people out of work topped the politically sensitive one million mark for the first time since comparable records began in 1992. The figures took the unemployment rate among eligible 16 to 24 year olds to 21.9 per cent for the three months to September.
