How many people here think there will be job losses where they work now we have voted to leave?
I for one think jobs will go where I work in IT services. And if we're not in the common market then (IT) services is a tricky one to sell to EU countries without the common market. For manufacturing you can come up with deals etc but services is something else. Trade deals for manufacturing will favour the countries strong in manufacturing like Germany. The UK has been strong in services over recent decades.
I also think some companies will use the referendum to (unfortunately) move jobs off-shore. They perhaps planned to do this anyway but it is of course unpopular. They can now blame the referendum when they 'have to do it'. IT services companies are already off-shoring big time - take HP Enterprise for example who are going to merge with CSC.... a good time to get rid of a lot of people and blame those who voted leave. Of course they would have done it anyway but now we cannot totally blame them.
The ones who will do well out of all of this are consultant like FM2R and lawyers. We need hundreds (perhaps thousands) to help make the best out of this for the country. All paid for on top of the '£350m a week' we send to the EU :-)
