Mapping job security in the east

There have been dire warnings that 2009 will see a steep rise in the jobless total. The TUC has warned the UK faces "mass unemployment" and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development has predicted at least 600,000 jobs could go.

Employers across the East of England have been announcing lay-offs or cuts to working hours, a recent example being the closure of the Indesit fridge factory in Peterborough with the loss of 423 jobs.

We want to know how you feel about your job security.Μύ Have you lost your job? Is it under threat? Or maybe your position is safe. Whatever your situation, we would like to know as we build a snapshot of how secure people feel about their jobs in our region.

Help to build our mood map

To take part, just follow the link above to the MapTube website.Μύ You can choose from four options and will be asked for the FIRST PART of your postcode.

It should take less than a minute to complete and the map is updated every 30 minutes.

You WILL NOT be asked for any other personal information and what you do submit will NOT be used for any other purpose.

With the help of University College London's Centre for Advanced Spatial Awareness we can convert your answers into a "mood map" of the region.Μύ

We do not claim it is scientific or wholly representative of sentiment and confidence across this region, but we hope to use the results to guide our reporting and provide a snapshot of how people feel about their job security.

If you think we are missing the real story, feel free to email us your thoughts on the downturn and how it might be affecting you.
