FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The TUC report to the conference warned that thousands of skilled professional women in the public sector were set to lose their jobs as a result of the UK government’s spending cuts.
Warning that the concentration of female private sector employment in low-skilled and poorly paid sectors threaten their pay and career prospects, it also found that half of women working in private companies earn less than £15,000 a year, compared with fewer than one in five men.
“Over a million women are now without work, with female unemployment rising by nearly a quarter in the North East over the last year,” said TUC general secretary Brendan Barber.
“But this is not just about a jobs crisis. Women are twice as likely to be affected by the cuts as men. Child benefit and tax credits are being sacrificed as ministers look for ways to cut the tax rate for people earning more than £150,000, even though they get more in tax breaks than most women earn in a year.
Furthermore, a separate report by Women Like Us, found a lack of quality part-time jobs cause thousands of mothers to face a “dead-end choice” between trading down their skills and experience, or not working at all.
The group’s co-founder Emma Stewart said, “The creation of more quality part-time vacancies would help thousands of mothers from squeezed income families, enabling them to optimize their earnings in the hours they have available to work.”
However, a government spokesman claimed, “The Government is making a real difference to women’s lives by creating more opportunities and removing barriers to career progression.”
