Credit Crunch affects Motor Trade jobs

The Motor Trade industry has been affected a lot in the last year with literally thousands of jobs being cut.

Around the same time as the ‘recession’ and ‘credit crunch’, many motor trade employers and motor trade companies have been going bust or into administration. This has meant that employees of these motor trade companies have lost their jobs. Of course some of the employers have had to make cut backs in their staff which has meant they have lost their jobs but one thing is clear, the motor trade industry has most definitely been affected by the recession and resulting in a rise in unemployment. Hopefully with the recession on its last legs and almost over, these motor trade companies can either build back up or will improve their sales enough to start increasing motor trade jobs.

Costs of running a car have risen since 2007

I’m sure i’m not the only one noticing how much it is costing to run a car these days. With petrol prices at an all time high and tax seeming to go up little by little every year, its no surprise that its costing us more to run our cars than it did two years ago.

Statistics have officially been released to say exactly how much we are spending on our cars and its easily in the thousands. The actual cost of repairs and insurance have been kept down due to the economic climate and the recession. This is mainly due to various companies/garages competing for the business.  The last two years have been very difficult for the country with regards to money and the credit crunch but hopefully soon we will be out of it and prices will start to level out if not drop.
