Poll: Nearly one in two Czechs fear redundancy in current economic climate

Nearly one in two Czechs fear for their jobs in light of the current economic downturn, suggests a poll conducted by the CVVM agency and released on Monday. Over 40 percent of respondents said that they feared redundancy while one third of Czechs said they feared a pay cut in the coming months. Some 62 percent of those questioned said they thought the current economic climate was having a negative impact on their household. The poll suggests that the current economic climate in the Czech Republic is being viewed pessimistically by Czechs. Fifty-seven percent of respondents to the survey said that they thought the government was not reacting well to the financial situation.
