In September, I
blogged here on Finextra saying (paraphrased) 'sell NOW, we have already, it is going to get a lot more ugly and could be worse than 1929'.
By my count the global job losses (based on a pretty quick scan, it is probably a lot more) is over 1m now, mostly in recent months.
I've put the full list up below but the finextra site still doesn't support tables so the formatted version will be available from
www.alturnal.com my blog tomw.
Some Government stats and industry research stats round this up a bit. I'll break them out as the data comes to hand.
Cheers, Peter.
