It has been done deliberately.

Howard Lutnicks words at the WEF yesterday summed up what has happened since the 80's. Off-shoring, high immigration, expanding office work and public sector whilst reducing manufacturing. Making universities income generators and councils into corporations has also been our undoing.

Thank you for your work sharing the facts.

Hideous framing here. Overall jobs is up over 1 million since the pre-covid numbers. And this is against the backdrop of AI reducing the need for some roles.

It's also disingenuous to tether this to a tiny rise in national insurance rates for companies over a certain size. Especially when cost of energy is clearly a 10x more important factor. And then it goes from "perhaps this is just a politically movitaved and myopic way to look at the data" to "Oh wow he's a shill for mega corporations" when we understand this is an energy problem and Labour are literally making mammoth progress in fixing that problem once and for all in the future. The only companies angry about that are coal and fossil fuel giants, Arabic states and Russia.

Hmmm perhaps we can see pretty clearly what side your bread is buttered.
