Report says employment opportunities still 30% below usual level for almost three-quarters of the workforce
Britain’s worst labour market shortages in decades are being driven by employers struggling to recruit low-paid workers, research suggests, while vacancies in other areas are still significantly below pre-pandemic levels.
A report by Institute for Fiscal Studies said employment opportunities were still 30% below their usual level for almost three-quarters of the workforce, despite reports focusing on severe shortages of staff in several sectors of the economy such as road haulage, care and warehouse work.
