Close to 10,000 jobs have been cut in the UK as a raft of announcements made clear the scale of the impending jobs crisis.

大量公告表明了即將到來的就業(yè)危機的規(guī)模，英國已裁員近1萬人。

Burger King led this morning’s devastating string of despatches as the fast food chain announced 1,600 jobs could be lost as it is forced to permanently shut one in 10 UK outlets.

漢堡王今早發(fā)布了一系列令人震驚的消息，這家快餐連鎖店宣布，由于被迫永久關閉英國十分之一的分店，可能會失去1600個工作崗位。

Chief executive Alasdair Murdoch told the BBC’s Newscast: “We don’t want to lose any (jobs). We try very hard not to, but one’s got to assume somewhere between 5 per cent and 10 per cent of the restaurants might not be able to survive.

首席執(zhí)行官阿拉斯代爾·默多克告訴BBC新聞廣播:“我們不想失去任何工作。我們非常努力地避免這樣做，但我們不得不假設，5%至10%的餐廳可能無法生存下去。

Rolls-Royce followed shortly after with news that more than 3,000 British workers have applied for redundancy, many of whom will leave in the next two months after the company announced a sweeping round of job cuts.

勞斯萊斯緊隨其后不久，又傳出3000多名英國工人申請裁員的消息，其中許多人將在公司宣布大規(guī)模裁員后的兩個月內離職。

The news comes seven weeks after the manufacturing company said that it would slash 9,000 jobs across its global workforce, warning that factories in the UK were set to be the worst hit.

七周前，這家制造公司表示，將在全球范圍內裁員9000人，并警告稱英國工廠將受到最嚴重的沖擊。

Elsewhere, John Lewis is to permanently close eight of its stores, putting 1,300 workers at risk.

約翰•劉易斯合伙企業(yè)表示，做出這一決定是為了“確保公司的長遠未來，并滿足顧客的購物需求”。

伯明翰和沃特福德的百貨商店，克羅伊登、紐伯里、斯溫登和塔姆沃思的四家家居商店，以及希思羅和圣潘克拉斯的旅游景點都將受到影響。

雪上加霜的是，博姿公司宣布將裁員4000多人。

The move will affect around 7 per cent of the company’s workforce.

It will also affect some deputy and assistant manager, beauty adviser and customer adviser roles.
