Jobs turnaround

Has anyone observed how, over the past week, since the passing of the fiscal treaty referendum, the jobs market has suddenly dried up?

Pfizers announced 177 redundancies last week and Bórd na Móna are seeking cutbacks in order to get back to profitability.

During the weeks leading up to the referendum, almost every day there were hundreds of jobs being created.

Am I being cynical or are we experiencing another turnabout syndrome similar to the broken promises made after the last general election?
