Best Answer

Redundancies often affect lower income people more both because they might be more likely to be made redundant and redundancy pay-offs are usually linked to income.

With a larger pool of unemployed, pressure to raise the minimum wage will be reduced so those in work are likely to have smaller or no pay increases. Employers often use recessions as an opportunity to worsen the terms of employment so non-wage benefits might also be reduced.
