The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development warns that by the time the recession ends, more than a million jobs could have been lost in the UK.

The gloomy forecast comes after the children's retailer Adams joined the growing list of well-known chains applying for administration.

The institute, which represents managers and personnel staff, forecasts that unemployment will stop short of three million, but it warns that the period between New Year and Easter will be the worst for redundancies since 1991.

Chief economist John Philpott says: "This time last year, in the face of some scepticism, the CIPD warned that 2008 would be the UK's worst year for jobs in a decade.

"It was, but in retrospect it will be seen as merely the slow motion prelude to what will be the worst year for jobs in almost two decades.

"Assuming the economy bottoms out in the second half of 2009, job losses are likely to continue into 2010, in all probability taking the final toll of lost jobs to around one million."

A survey of 2,600 workers by the CIPD showed that more than one in four did not expect a pay rise next year, a similar number believed any wage increase will be lower than in 2008, while some feared a wage cut.

The report warns that many workplaces will feel like TV dramas ER or Casualty next year, with managers facing traumatised or anxious workers affected by job and pay cuts.
