"Seeing as job losses and gains are now apparently politics,the construction leadership council has predicted that over 370,000 jobs could be lost over the next few years with developers making the deepest cuts. The construction workforce is expected to shrink by 1.3% One in 6 firms are expected to make redundancies Welcome to the brave new Brexit world " That doesn’t sound great, are we still allowed to use forecasts on here ? | |||

"If you look at the ONS figures you will see that most job loses were in 25 and under and in Hospitality as a result of the Pandemic closures. But these have slowed significantly now with re-opening (obviously)." This is to do with construction which seems strange to me as there is at least 4 developments going on within a 3 mile radius from me as we speak. | |||

"Problems in the construction industry The london (labour)mayor. " Its part of his remit mate. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, in a joint letter with Transport for London (TfL) has responded to the London Assembly Transport Committee report Derailed: Getting Crossrail back on track. In his letter, the Mayor agreed with many of the points made within the report. But, despite the Committee’s direct call for the Commissioner to consider his position in light of all that had gone wrong, the Mayor reiterated his support for TfL’s commissioner, Mike Brown MVO. | |||

Nothing to do with that. Seems a bit obscure for someone to have knowledge of. But perhaps you are connected to the construction industry? A discussion is a discussion, positive or negative. The problem comes when people are so entrenched in their beliefs there can be no discussion.
I was simply posting a story that had appeared about concerns in the construction industry as job losses/gains are apparently a political topic now
And I simply responded by saying that I'd spoken to local builders who said the opposite of what you posted. Also the construction sites, large housing developments around my locale have continued seemingly as normal. So do I trust what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears or something that appears to be wrong? From a local perspective. That's local, just in case it's been missed.
Then surely some areas are more buoyant than others.
That's very often the problem when making a generalisation.
Who made a generalization?"Did you want the last word Lionel? I'm nothing if not gracious. Over to you.... | |||
