Selected links

In my blogs, The politics of unemployment, Career and The nineties job quest, I make plenty of use of links to other websites. To avoid being continually distracted by them, I've listed some of them in the table below, allowing you to explore these links as a group if you prefer. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list, nor is it intended to be.
