If you're one of the many dole-mongers looking to get on the ad-ladder you may or may not be aware of a new scheme known as the LHA. Sound pretty cool? Well it's not...
The LHA is the Local Housing Allowance, a new scheme which is used to determine how much housing benefit you are entitled to whilst looking for one of those cleverly concealed jobs in adland.
And guess what? They've capped it at something like £84 a week, instead of covering your share of the rent like they used to. So let's say your rent is £110 a week - you're now £26 a week poorer. Take that from your job-seekers, and you're left with a princely sum of around £34 a week to live on.
Minus all your other outgoings (utility bills etc, we're not even talking food here) and yep you're left with pretty much... fuck all.
So now, more than ever, it really is down to who is hungriest for a job in advertising.
I'm off to eat some mud.
