UK would lose at least 500,000 jobs after Brexit vote - Osborne (Reuters)
Britain would lose at least half a million jobs within two years of a vote to leave the European Union and a fall in the value of the pound would push up inflation sharply, finance minister George Osborne said on Monday.
With
a month to go until Britain holds its European Union membership
referendum, Osborne said workers' earnings, when adjusted for inflation,
would be almost 3 percent lower in two years' time, equivalent to a pay
cut worth almost 800 pounds a year for someone working full time on the
average wage.
