PS: asset price inflation is a great way to trick the public into thinking that all is well.

[QUOTE=NeonpieDFTBA;50687532][url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36636574]1/3 carry on as normal, 2/3 say it has a negative effect, 1/4 freezing hiring, 5% (I thought it was 6 but point stands) cutting hiring.[/url], and they'd do it now because no one knows what relationship the uk will have with Europe. I honestly fail to understand how hard you have to work to find a way to think that a fall to a 30 year low is not a problem for the pound. I'm not early, you're ignoring reality.[/QUOTE]

they are reacting to uncertainty... this shows good busness.

now the government needs to prove they can pull off this brexit and the corporations will calm down

Nobody said brexit could be done without breaking some eggs...

Last month’s introduction of the ‘national living wage’ is probably effecting hiring more than the Brexit, you can't blame it for everything.

“A knock-on effect of stronger cost pressures from the ‘national living wage’ and higher fuel prices has seen a slowing in the rate of job creation, which was at a 32-month low in April.”

A separate report from accountants BDO suggested that UK firms’ hiring intentions had fallen sharply to levels last seen in 2014. But its Business Trends Report suggested firms remained upbeat about growth in the coming six months.

Actually the response of companies to the Nat living wage is to either reduce their profits or raise prices

Nat living wage is voluntary for companies to adopt remember.

These companies were asked whether [I]Brexit[/I] would hurt their business and affect hiring. If we end up in the EEA, as may intends, will you be happy, and if so, why?
