Job cuts

Published: 28 August 2008   

More than 3m workers fear losing their jobs, according to a new report.

The report, from the TUC, found that that one in five Welsh workers fear job cuts, while 17% of Scots are worried they may find themselves out of work.

London workers and those in the East of England are most positive on their prospects.

Brendan Barber, general secretary at the TUC, said: “These poll findings show just how many people are getting worried about losing their job in the current economic slowdown. Of course, this does not mean that unemployment will rise by anything like three million, but it does show just how jittery people have become about the economy and their own job.”
