I didn’t feel much like blogging about job losses at the end of December. . . so I didn’t. Now, however, it’s time to put up two months’ worth of data.

As requested by one reader, a graphic. Prepare yourself for a big increase in November. PS: Jeremy Dear (NUJ) and Jon Slattery (ex-Press Gazette) make the point that these reported job losses understate the real magnitude of the problem. Plenty more jobs are being burned off by non-replacement of staff, for example. Here’s Dear on [...]
