How many of the jobs are for skilled, managerial and technical people and what are the qualifications of those loooking for jobs?

I was once told by David Sullivan, owns The Sport Newspaper and probably worth half a billion, that we make our money out of the lower classes.

His reasoning was Millionaires book a hooker for a weekend, rich guys book her for the night, well off book her for an hour. The "working classes" buy a magazine, Internet did not exist then, so a "Working class" with money to spare for pleasures was the thing that made him rich.

Not much help to us giving a millionaire and extra $1,000 he will not be buying memberships. Better to give 100 guys $10. Some will buy some trials.
