along came the credit crunch, which with a little help from the media threw us in to recession, now come the countless statistics from government and trade bodies about the doom and gloom that is to behold us in the next 12 months. Well I have decided to put another measure in place about how bad things really get.
I have decided to be on train watch, more specifically as seasoned commuter I will observe to see if seat availability increases. A very targeted regional measure I admit, but nonetheless it is sure to be slightly valid in measuring white collar employment rates.
So far, I am reporting that employment seems to be at a all time high. First, week back at work after the Christmas break, and I haven’t had a seat once. Opposed to the same period in December when seat availability was low, but I would without fail get a seat 3 mornings.
I’m hoping for a little more seating this week, before Christmas recession would be fine.
