The UK Government has announced severe cuts today to Non-departmental public bodies (or Quangos), with thousands expected to lose their jobs across a range of sectors. Overall 192 Quangos will be abolished, with a further 289 due to be restructured and reformed. The full list of cuts is available on the Cabinet Office Website.
The jobs market is still in a fragile state following the economic downturn of last year, so finding alternative employment isn’t going to be easy for those who were cut.
Luckily for those left out on a limb by the government, there’s never been a better time to go Freelance. As we’ve discovered recently, Freelancers are remarkably recession proof, and for all those analysts, consultants and advocates freshly unemployed and feeling disenfranchised by their former employers – why not take your show on the road?
