Do you think that your economy is now recovering from the slowdown?

I don't feel my economy is reducing. World economy declining is not affecting china. But people here can't get more money now and past. China is a close country so it has little effect. I don't feel income reducing in my company, because I also didn't feel money increasing in good economy period.

I have been out of work now for over a year, and whilst there still seems to be a lot of bad news out there, I think I do detect a very slight increase in economic activity. There has been a constant slow flow of background activity in the government financed sectors of electronics industry, the military electronics sector, but it does seem that one or two companies in the commercial electronics sector are just beginning to come off the fence and start taking people on. However, because things have been bad for so long, there is very stiff competition for the few opportunities just starting to unfold, and because of that the money they are offering is very poor. It will be a while yet before demand outstrips supply on the labour market. Also I have a suspicion that some companies are using the recession as an excuse to shrink their operations in the UK, and invest more in the growing eastern economies. Last time I looked at the jobs section on one well-known mobile phone manufacturer's website, they had engineering posts in china that they were looking to fill, but the only opportunities in Europe were in Sales Management. It does seem that the UK's manufacturing base and R&D base may come out the other end of this recession as a smaller sector, with the result that the supply of skilled people may outstrip the demand for some time to come yet.

very good topic. unfortunately i have not seen any signal of the economy in the UK is recovering. in fact every day on TV I can hear bad news. more and more people are losing their jobs. now I totally can not find a job for me to live. the worst profocast about the economy of the UK is it would be the next Iceland. i don't know if it will happen or not. however I do feel life is a lot harder than before. every penny in my dictionary is important. i wish I can have more time to spend on my writing so I can make some money. best regards.

I can say that slowly the world's economy is recovering but sad to say that many companies are still saying that they incurred losses due to the global meltdown and abusing the situation and removing benefits entitlement of their employees such as salary increase and holiday gifts incentives.

I think it is slowly getting better, good thing Obama isn't into the wars as bush as that was the major cause of the economy lapse. Also, the major banks had problems so I didn't doubt there was going to be this fall. I hope it gets better and better especially for the dollar as I have a few thousand that I don't want to transfer to the Thai baht yet.

No, I'm not seeing more job opportunities or ventures coming up. No, I'm not seeing any evidence of the recession ending. In fact, quite the reverse - but then, I'm from the UK! The US: (technically) out of recession. Japan: (technically) out of recession. The Eurozone: (technically) out of recession. Brown's Britain: still enmired in recession! How depressing...
