    Plenty of jobs are linked to property sales from tradesmen to retailers and manufacturers of sofas and beds.

    When people aren't buying property they aren't getting work done and buying new things.

      Wrong, they're spending money on their current property to add value.

        The two tradesmen I had in this year complained that potential new customers were calling them to do jobs like mine e.g. small patch up jobs not large ones since interest rates had gone up. (I was a returning customer.)

        And retail sales tell their own story.
