600,000 layoffs expected in Britain in 2009
USAToday.com and CNBC.com are reporting today, Dec. 29, that more than 600,000 people in Britain are expected to be laid off in 2009.
It would make next year the worst for job losses in 18 years in the United Kingdom.
Their information was based on The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development’s annual report released today.
The report noted that people would lose their jobs for other reasons such as contracts ending and the country’s economic slowdown.
The layoffs would push 1 million more people into unemployment by the end of next year than were out of work in October of this year, bringing the total number of unemployed in Britain up to 2.8 million.
