Tony McNulty: Carrot Carrot Stick

McNulty MP, Minister of State for Employment and Welfare Reform is interviewed by WORLDbytes volunteer Emma Grant on the new welfare reform bill and jobs.

But how will people find work when there are currently only 455,000 job vacancies and over 2.2 million unemployed?
