UPDATED: Supermarkets on employment drive

As the Supermarkets go from strength to strength will this have an effect on the downturn. The supermarket go on a big employment drive will this take the sting out of the recession.

But this growth in the supermarkets  will have a down side,  if the supermarkets continue to open new stores (small and large) then the smaller local produce shops will disappear even more than ever.

Morrisons has pledged to create 5,000 jobs this year, bucking the rise in unemployment as it looks to grow despite the economic downturn.

Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket group said this morning that it would create new positions across its chain of stores. The new roles will include working on Morrisons’ butchery, fish and bakery counters, said the personnel director, Norman Pickavance, although full details were not available.

“Even in these challenging economic conditions, Morrisons is committed to hiring and training new people to keep retail as the engine room of the economy and support our continuing growth,” Pickavance said.
