Oh Dear - Guess who are losing their jobs?

[Cyberman]

The article says 'planned'. This is just spin to make it appear that the public sector is suffering as well as the private sector. I'm not surprised that you lot are falling for it.
Does anybody actually know personally anybody that has lost their job in the non-job sector recently?

The cutbacks planned for the Ministry of Justice offer the first sign of the impact that the credit crunch and rising inflation will have on public services. The department was planning savings; however, the extent of predicted cuts – forced in part by increased pressure on prisons and global financial turbulence - is being revised.

The Department for Work and Pensions, which has been given a budget cut of 5.6 per cent over three years in real terms, has announced 12,000 more job losses on top of 30,000 posts that were originally due to disappear. Revenue & Customs has announced 12,000 job cuts on top of the 17,500 lost so far, while the Home Office and the Communities Department are also expected to produce drastic plans to reduce staff and cut spending.


Interest rates being slashed whilst inflation rages, double Oh Dear.
