The difficulties of whistleblowers finding employment

Abstract

Briefly considers the ethical issue of whistle blowing before considering the difficulties whistleblowers face when attempting to find employment, especially in the public sector. Provides some case studies as evidence. Looks at the average age of the whistleblower and the legal battles they often face as other potential factors. Recommends that the best solution is to prevent the need for whistleblowing in the first place and provides some suggestions to help this.
