It makes me laugh when people throw around this bollox, out of recession my arse!
In real terms I'm earning 12 grand a year less now than I was 5 years ago, Those of us in the building trade haven't had a pay freeze we've had a pay cut and it gets a little worse every year.

Wages go down... Anger, frustration and resentment go up!

Don't forget the increasing cost of living. Really, we've been hit by a hell of a lot more than pay-cut, pay freezes, and things like that.

We won't start to come out of a recession for at least another 3-4 years. As long as the Eurozone doesn't implode first that is, then who knows how long we'll be on the rocks.
