The total number of employees made redundant from the 1st January 2002 to 30th April 2006 was 106,121. The annual break-down is as follows:
Year | |
2002 | 24,432 |
2003 | 25,769 |
2004 | 25,041 |
2005 | 23,156 |
Sub Total | 98,398 |
2006 January-April | 7,723 |
Total | 106,121 |
This figure shows the number of employees who actually qualified for statutory redundancy lump sum payments. It does not reflect those who lost their jobs with less than two years service in an employment.
