Since housing, distorted by council provision and rent regulation, is very difficult to find, unemployed workers stay at home rather than move to areas where they might find jobs. Rent restriction thus increases unemployment as well as homelessness, but there was little in the Conservative manifesto to show that the new Thatcher administration will do anything more than acknowledge the problem.
