It appears that none exists.

That contains a handful of disputable entries which you have flagged.

If you want some more information on how a decline in growth impacts jobs, see the FullFact article linked earler. If you want a plain link on an example of job losses, see https://www.cityam.com/big-banks-shi...te-ey-reports/
The list of council job losses in that list, is more than a handful. I'm not going to check each and every one.


The accusation was made that EU directives aimed at employees were beneficial to businesses. France had a huge unemployment problem as a result of workers rights, which Macron wanted to get rid of.

His sweeping overhaul of labor rules aims to inject greater flexibility into the job market and kickstart hiring after decades of high unemployment.
Of course the unions objected to that.
Extra workers rights harms businesses and employment.

What to consider if you invest in the United Kingdom
Strong Points One of the main strengths of the UK economy in attracting FDI is that its economy is one of the most liberal in Europe and its business environment is extremely favourable to FDI :
  • The country is ranked 8th in the World Bank's 2020 Doing Business guide.
  • The speed of launching a business is, for example, a very good indicator: setting up a business takes on average 13 days in the United Kingdom while the European average is 32 days. According to this indicator, the country is ranked first in Europe and sixth in the world.
  • London has many strengths: it is a world leader in the financial services sector, its banking sector is healthy and robust
  • Exports are structurally competitive and diversified
  • The legal framework is among the most flexible in the world
  • The unemployment rate is one of the lowest in Western economies.
In other words, the UK is still one of the best countries in the World for investment and starting a business.
