Job levels will take a generation to return to pre-recession total, says TUC

It will take a generation for employment levels in Scotland to return to what they were before the recession, in part because of the Coalition Government’s public spending cuts, according to new research.

The figures, from the Trades Union Congress, estimate that it will take 23 years for job numbers to return to levels last seen in 2008.
