Things ARE going to get worse.

Apparently there are two new reports out that detail that the economic situation is going to get worse before it gets better, and that this will result in more firm's going under and job losses. Hello! Where have they been? Did they really need a study and report (that cost's money) to tell anyone that? They have predicted that over the next few years hundreds of thousands of workers will lose their jobs. Whether it be through closure, cut backs or restructuring and losing dead wood. Horrible though it may sound, this will help the British, and world, economy in the long run. Many firms are employing too many people doing jobs that could be combined and save money - we have all seen it or work with it - 2 or 3 people employed doing the job that one person could do easily. And, how many people are employed just because they have been there for many years and it is to hard to get rid of them under the new employment laws and regulations.
