Fears for charity jobs as quarterly staffing figures fall - Third Sector

Fears for charity jobs as quarterly staffing figures fall - Third Sector: "The number of people working in charities and voluntary organisations fell by 8,000 in the last quarter of 2008 from an all-time high of 724,000 in the preceding quarter, prompting fears that the recession has triggered a sustained fall.

But some commentators have pointed out that the steady growth in the sector's workforce of the past 10 years has been punctuated by other short-term falls and that more figures were needed before a trend could be discerned."
