Companies will tend to overstate job losses when they want the government to do something but understate job losses when actually carrying them out.

I think there's truth in that. If firms reduce their London footprint, they won't boast of it.

True, however, there is little to no evidence that jobs are being lost. Speaking from my own experience it's been very easy so far and that three open positions that need to be filled by someone.

London's homicide rate was 1.6 per 100 000 in 2011, so presumably similar in 2017 on your figures
Chicago's homicide rate was 24 per 100 000 in 2017.

I'm surprised Minsk is the worst in Europe.

For a while, Bodmin was number 3 in the UK.

Actually scratch my original comment. I didn't see Tallinn above it, which is even more surprising to me.

The announced job losses are almost exactly what Morgan Stanley said they would be ten months ago, which was probably when they were "positioning"

I'm not particularly close to this anymore, but it would be interesting to track financial situations vacant numbers in London, Paris and Frankfurt. I may see what I can do...
