Watch: Millions of jobs at risk | Carsten Jung on Sky News

Article

IPPR Senior Economist Carsten Jung is interviewed about our findings on Sky News' Ian King Live show. Almost 600,000 UK employers are at risk of business collapse in the spring without an urgent extension of government support, according to new IPPR analysis. Between them they account for one third of business turnover and employ some 9 million people, whose jobs could be lost if the cash crisis for firms of all sizes is not quickly addressed.
