My unemployment talk from today is below. I will use this post to put up some links over the weekend.
NOTES
(i) One issue I need to clarify is whether jobbridge applicants are counted on the live register. I had assumed that they were, but one of the discussants suggested that they were not counted and pointed to an Irish Times article. The live register notes are here. I will clarify it here as soon as I can find the information. Thanks to the commentor.
(ii) Thanks to commentor @alanrouge on twitter for asking about underemployment. Will add a post on this as soon as I get a chance.
(iii) One of the commentors, Daniel Davis, mentioned the Georgia Works programme in the US. A PBS podcast on this is here. It is an interesting model.
(iv) There is a thread on the Irish Economy blog linked here

Thanks, lots of interesting ideas there - it's clear that there are lots of different types of internships and jobbridge is only one. The challenge is to design them well, as always with policy!
Interesting talk Liam; had it on my earphones this afternoon. Will send on some feedback later in the week.
For now, I will draw your attention to a strange phenomenon: a reality TV show in America that follows the unemployed.
