The latest unemployment figures also show that the public sector is losing jobs 12 times faster than the private sector is creating them.
The top three unemployment blackspots in Britain are Clackmannanshire, where there are 31 people chasing every vacancy; West Dumbartonshire, where the figure is 26; and Hartlepool, where it is 24.
Ahead of the publication of the labour market figures, union research showed that if they became unemployed, low-paid workers such as cleaners, catering assistants and machine operators were more likely than their higher paid counterparts to be on the dole for more than six months.
