UK financial sector jobs near new crisis low

摘要

Banks, brokers and insurers in the UK are expected to cut their workforces for the fourth straight quarter over the coming three months, as ongoing deleyeraging across much of the sector continues to feed through to the jobs market. Employers in the UK's financial sector are expected to cut another 2,000 jobs in the second quarter, after shedding 4,000 in the first three months of the year. By June, employment will be down by about 15,000 on a year earlier.
