Those most affected are expected to be the young, non-Europeans, disabled and older members of the workforce. The common factor, according to the Unemployment Office, is a lack of education.

 

Most of the loss will occur in industry with 130 000 jobs disappearing over two years, another 70 000 in the service sector, 30 000 in the building industry and 25 000 in the public sector.

 

While things are expected to ease up by the end of 2010 it will take another couple of years before the job market improves. By then it is anticipated that large numbers of the workforce will be retiring with significantly fewer younger ones entering it creating a shortage of labour.

 

With a diminishing industrial sector it is vital that those made unemployed as a result change their profession, retrain and/or further their education to ensure they do not remain permanently outside the workforce. For some that means going back to school and completing their compulsory education in order to compete for the new jobs.
