The Engineering Employers Federation (EEF) has today said that the government must face the economic downturn head on if it is to reduce the impact of manufacturing jobs.
The EEF made the statement after carrying out a survey of over 800 companies who suggested that job losses were being predicted across the UK.
There has been a sharp decline in expectations over the months ahead which could lead to companies making staff redundant.
The government responded by suggesting that it understood the problems that manufacturing companies are facing and are looking at ways of supporting the companies through these difficult times.
The study revealed that only companies in London and the South East would actually recruit new staff in the coming months. The government is currently working with local companies and agencies to try and help combat the problem and to try and help companies in the difficult times ahead.
