Blimey I thought we had seen the last of the big banking restructures, obviously not:
Barclays to cut 19,000 jobs over three years - BBC News
"Barclays is to cut 19,000 jobs by 2016, with about 10,000 to go in the UK, the bank has said.
As part of a new strategy, the investment part of the bank will lose about 7,000 jobs by the end of 2016.
Barclays' investment bank has been hit by a slowdown in the demand for government and company debt.."
I see in the same article there is talk of closing 400 branches in the near future. Poor old high street gets hit again...
