UNISON GS Dave Prentis has rejected the spin around the economic forecast of the Office for Budget Responsibility – in which it scaled down its forecast of job losses:
“Whichever way you look at it, the latest economic forecast makes grim reading. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) may have cut its estimate of job losses in the public sector, but that that will be cold comfort to the 330,000 people facing the dole. As more workers from the public and private sector lose their jobs, spending power goes down and that will only slow down our sluggish economy further.”
