growing army of the jobless is set to number three million by the time of the next election, economists warned Gordon Brown yesterday.
They predicted levels of unemployment not seen in two decades on the back of the biggest three-month leap in the count since 1991.
Yet, when confronted with the dire figures, the Prime Minister provoked derision by calling on those out of work to go and lag roofs under state-subsidised insulation programmes.
Mr Brown's attempt to look on the bright side came as the latest jobless count showed 164,000 people were thrown out of work over the summer in the highest three-month increase since John Major's slump.
