Sunday News Update


You don't have time to read all the newspapers on your lazy Sunday, so let me do it for you. Here are some quick snatches of information for you, so you can spend the time today the way you want to. Its a round up of business news for you.
1. The Pharmaceutical world looks like it is having a difficult time on the jobs front with both GSK and AstraZeneca potentially cutting jobs. 12000 jobs in total at risk.
2. It's the 31st January and a very important day in the tax calendar. Get your online assessment completed today or else the Taxman will be unhappy. Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has warned taxpayers not to respond to the "phishing" email which is doing the rounds today, otherwise your bank account might be a little bit empty sooner rather than later.
3. I hope this is good news for me having recently tied the knot with Roksolana. Married men earn nearly one third more than single men. Yippee, we say. And they also earn 4% more than men who live with their partners.
4. The City of London has lost 10% of its most senior financiers over the last two years. Redundancy, early retirements and insolvencies account for that figure. Wow. That's a big hit, however unsympathetic you might feel for them.
5. Managerial and professional women are drinking an average of 10.2 units per week which is more than a bottle of wine. This compares unfavourably with manual workers who drink 6.5 units.
