6000 folk apply for 400 jobs.


ALMOST 6000 people applied for just 400 jobs at a Tesco store due to open in an unemployment blackspot.

Michael E. McMahon is a City Council member representing the North Shore of Staten Island.
 yesterday challenged First Minister Alex Salmond over the decision to close the office in Mosshill.

He said: "Does the First Minister agree it is madness for Skills Development Scotland to have decided to close Bellshill careers office? "Is he concerned that SDS 1. (company) SDS - Scientific Data Systems.
2. (tool) SDS - Schema Definition Set.
 have abandoned one of the hardest-hit areas to save pounds 100 a week and will he join me in calling on SDS to reverse this ludicrous decision?" But Salmond insisted: "No community in Scotland will be left without the support of skills development."

He said a new joint initiative would be launched with Jobcentre Plus to advertise skills training.

He called on MSPs from all sides to back government moves to be allowed to accelerate spending which would support 5000 jobs.
