More than 200,000 public sector jobs have already been axed or are at risk of being lost after massive spending cuts even before the Government unveils its comprehensive spending review, new research has revealed.At the beginning of the summer I was talking to one of my regular customers who holds a senior position for a department in a local council. He said that the council was instructed by central government to employ people who would otherwise be unemployable. In some cases three people were being employed to do a job that should have, and quite easily could have, been performed by just one person.
Councils, health authorities, police forces, Government departments and other public sector bodies across the country have all taken an axe to jobs in recent months after having their budgets slashed.
Many companies in the private sector have had to make efficiency improvements to ensure their survival and now it's the turn of the public sector.

A bit like MPs in the British Parliament.
Only 3? Thought it was more.
And that's before the Diversity Outreach Co-ordination Facilitators!
