    The only good news on it is that input costs are falling faster than sterling.

    The big two for me are:

    Investment intentions had been reduced sharply during 2008 Q4
    &
    Contacts’ concerns over availability of working capital remained elevated

    Both are very bad news for employment levels in a year's time. It signals to me that unemployment is likely to be rising quickly still this time next year.
