But in these days of 'pan-regional' operations for many companies, I yhink such figures will be almost impossible to separate and wouldn't actually give an idea of where the downturn is actually located - eg someone's office may be in Borchester but most of their work has been in Royston Vaizey on the other side of the country which has now disappeared, the location of job losses in the survey would have to be given as Borchester.
