I have a post up at Left Foot Forward, looking at today’s figures. Unemployment passed the psychologically important 2.5 million mark and employment is down as well. Public sector job losses are starting to mount and the private sector is holding off from hiring new workers. It looks as though one of the reasons is that they’re scared that 2011 is going to be perfectly bloody.
