April sees a rise in total redundancies and a number of large scale job
losses.
In April a total of 18813 redundancies were announced in Unite companies,
up on the March total of 13161. Following first quarter results many
companies have embarked on further rounds of job cuts. Whilst the numbers
for April are not as dramatic as the job cuts announced in January of this year,
the last month nevertheless represents an upturn in the trend of monthly job
losses.
