"Presenting Nice Work is fascinating because of the wide range of stories you hear, and the people you get to meet. Not only do we cover the big picture trends and theories, we get up close to the real experience of work, from the people who actually do it.
Over the next six weeks we'll be looking at the pros and cons of work experience; investigative claims that Britain is fast becoming a nation of malingerers and updating you on disability issues. We'll also be looking into the spiritual side of working life and finding out about the help available for people who want to return to work after a lengthy career break."

RETURNING TO WORK
This week Nice Work looks at the daunting task of returning to work after a long career break. We look at the obstacles people face and how you get back into the workforce after several years at home caring for children or relatives.

Valery Spence
Employment Policy Adviser, PriceWaterhouseCoopers
Frances Mansfield

We also have a report on a building skills course in Oxford aimed at women returning to the work place.
TRAVEL TO WORK
We have a report on new rules about how far people who are out of work and on benefit will have to travel to get a job, once they’ve been claiming for three months. From next April you could have your benefits cut if you refuse to accept a job up to one and a half hour's journey time away.
