Recession ends, but job satisfaction still down

The UK’s recession ended today, but employers should be wary of its hangover, the CIPD has warned.Official figures showed economic growth of 0.1 per cent for the last quarter of 2009, bringing to an end six successive quarters where growth had been negative. But though the worst recession in living memory may be over, the long-term effects on the workforce will take much longer to shake off, according to CIPD figures also released today.
