City of London chief says Brexit 'disaster' cost 40,000 finance jobs www.reuters.com/world/uk/cit...
Britain's departure from the European Union cost London's financial centre about 40,000 jobs, the Lord Mayor of the City of London told Reuters, a far deeper impact from Brexit than previous estimates.
Some data points: UK services exports have surged - but that's mostly down to professional/business services which now far eclipse financial services. Combined financial services exports of Germany, France and Ireland have overtaken the UK, according to IMF data.
Looks like Brexit didn’t just break up the EU, it also took a good chunk out of the City’s party guest list! 40,000 finance jobs? That’s a whole lot of people who now have more time to brush up on their yacht-finance lingo or become experts in the art of “finding a new job
Wow a benefit of Brexit has finally been found
But I know somehow those jobs boost exports but so many seem like gambling or distorting share prices
The gift that keeps on giving
Oh, so brexit wasn't all bad news?
So there was a Brexit benefit after all.
Oh, so there were good outcomes of Brexit after all?
I guess Brexit freedom was the freedom not to go to work any more.
