  The job loss situation is very bad indeed..with job opportunities for women and younger people falling off a cliff. This situation was brought up by Ed Miliband today at PMQ because every time figures are released they show the situation getting worse. Cameron promised he would match all these public sector job losses with new ones created in the private sector, but the equasion is well out of sync. For example the DVLA are shedding something like 1,250 jobs. The government are doing this by centralising operations. Probably a fair move, if anyone losing a job can ever be described as fair, but probably a good move in times of plenty.
  
  But...where are all these DVLA people to get jobs now with the economy being the way it is?
  
  This is just casting people onto the dole with little prospect of re-employment.
  
  Cuts are one thing, but no prospect of re-employment just leaves these same people previously employed now claiming benefits. So its just the same level of economic negativity but just moved around on the HMG draughtboard.
