Look at the main Stores now for a quick example, they are putting in more and more of the self service checkouts, the big store where I am, has now got a policy of when someone leaves the position is not filled if its not a vital role.The nightshift staff have had 5 people leave in the last 4 months and no one has been taken on.
The main checkouts of which there are 30, never have more than 9 operators now so 21 are never in use, the self service checkouts have gone from 6 to 18.
I don't think the Pirvate companies will rush in to ease any new rises in unemployment,rather they will use the cuts, the past recession and the uncertian economic climate to just let their own workforces drop as well.
The fear of losing a job will mean the new overstretched workforces in all those companies will just have to grin and bear it. Scary times ahead for the masses of people.
Unemployment rising is likely to go far past the current estimates.

Your right Joey, its happening, the private sector hasnt had time to recover to be able to take on more people. I feel for the people who are going to lose their jobs
