Huge parts of Europe have been struggling beside the U.K.And in the U.S. the economy wassluggishin the first quarter. That's the first 3 months of this year.

The economy crisis has taken its toe on Britain youth.1 million plus are now unemployed.More than 22% are those aged 16-24.I might be worse in London if it is not for the upcoming summer Olympics.
Some of the Olympics money has gone to helping London disadvantage youth,get job training.

What we find when we work with the young people to get on job program,is that seeing the whole London get changing.A newopportunityto developing.
But by the Autumn ,the Olympics will be over.And many of the temporary jobs will go.
So no worries on thelegacyway after Olympics.
