EMPLOYERS have signalled they will start firing staff to stem the growing impacts of the global financial crisis.
An Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) survey, to be released today, warns businesses are in for a "rough ride", with three in five revealing they had substantially felt the effects of the economic meltdown.
The survey of 303 manufacturing, services and construction businesses in October found that "companies are revising their business plans, lowering employment and cutting costs".
