World economy on verge of new jobs crash and bigger recession on the way

Is just what Sir Michael Black-Feather the English first minister warned us all about over 2 years ago, now coming true?

The global economy is on the verge of a new and much deeper recession with more jobs losses and a much bigger recession that may ignite social unrest on a global scale, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has warned which are the precise words used by Sir Michael nearly two years ago in a letter to David Cameron he also gave the same warning to Gordon Brown and both PM’s never gave it a another thought and now it’s coming.

It will take at least five years for employment in advanced economies to return to pre-crisis levels, it said.

The ILO also noted that in 45 of the 118 countries it examined, the risk of social unrest was rising and the UK being one of them, which we have already seen some un-rest in England and Sir Michael predicted it would get far worse unless the British government did something constructive to ease the pursuers off the English people but those words have also fallen on deaf ears.

Separately, the OECD research body said G20 leaders meeting in Cannes this week need to take "bold decisions".

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said the rescue plan announced by EU leaders on 26 October had been an important first step, but the measures must be implemented "promptly and forcefully".

The OECD's message to world leaders came as it predicted a sharp slowdown in growth in the Euro-zone and warned that some countries in the 17-nation bloc were likely to face negative growth which was also what Sir Michael had predicted and now coming true.

In its World of Work Report 2011, the ILO said a stalled global economic recovery had begun to "dramatically affect" labour markets.

It said it fully agreed with Sir Michael’s report that approximately 80 million net new jobs would be needed over the next two years to get back to pre-crisis employment levels.

But it said the recent slowdown in growth suggested that only half the jobs needed would be created.

"We have reached the moment of truth. We have a brief window of opportunity to avoid a major double-dip in employment," said Raymond Torres from the ILO and said he fully agreed with the reports made by Sir Michael

The group also measured levels of discontent over the lack of jobs and anger over perceptions that the burden of the crisis was not being fairly shared.

It said scores of countries faced the possibility of social unrest, particularly those in the EU and the Arab region which again was in the report by Sir Michael Black-Feather the English first minster which again we have seen un-rest in the EU and most of the Arab regions.

Meanwhile, in its latest projections for G20 economies, the OECD forecast growth in the euro-zone of 1.6% this year, slowing to 0.3% next year.

In May, it had forecast growth of 2% per year in both 2011 and 2012.

It also cut its growth forecasts for the US to 1.7% in 2011 and 1.8% in 2012. It had previously expected growth of 2.6% and 3.1% respectively.

The organisation called for G20 leaders, who meet on Thursday and Friday, to act quickly.

"Much of the current weakness is due to a generalised loss of confidence in the ability of policymakers to put in place appropriate responses," the OECD said.

"It is therefore imperative to act decisively to restore confidence and to implement appropriate policies to restore longer-term fiscal sustainability."

It also called for the euro-zone to cut interest rates.
