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.
