from www.usatoday.com – Some government-run unemployment offices in Britain are offering teenage job seekers a chance to make more than $1,000 a week on x-rated Web sites, the Birmingham Mail reports.

The newspaper says the “job with a difference” is being advertised at Jobcentre Plus offices in Birmingham, Warwickshire and Shropshire by an adult recruiting agency, Faceclick.

The agency encourages applicants to engage in sexually explicit conversations with customers and to perform “activities that you feel comfortable with” when naked in front of a camera, the newspaper says.

The Mail reports that one 19 -year-old girl was handed application details when she showed up a JobCentre Plus office looking for clerical work.

A spokesman for The Department for Work and Pensions in West Midlands tells The Mail that the unemployment office is required to advertise a vacancy if it is legal.

“However, adult entertainment jobs are clearly marked that applicants must be aged 18 or over,” the spokeswoman says. “Our staff do not actively promote these vacancies to our customers, it would be up to them to express an interest in applying and to ask for further information.”

The newspaper says Jobcentre Plus lost a legal battle seven years ago when it tried to refuse advertising jobs in the adult entertainment industry.
