Last updated : 18 March 2010
126 workers a day join public payroll… while private employers axe 1,440 jobs. About 1,440 private sector workers lost their jobs every day last year – but the number of state employees rose by 126 a day, official figures revealed yesterday.
The data from the Office for National Statistics shows how those employed at private firms have paid the price of the recession while a record 6.09million now work in the ballooning private sector – equal to more than 20 per cent of the entire workforce.
The unemployment figures paint a mixed picture for the economy.
