UK facing the biggest job crisis in a decade

As the UK faces the biggest job crisis in a decade, the number of employees on payrolls has dropped by 730,000 between March and July (ONS). Younger workers, older workers, and less skilled workers were hit significantly. Unfortunately, a bigger wave of unemployment is estimated in autumn. Employers will have to decide if they can afford to keep their workers when the furlough scheme ends.

The last thing on your mind maybe the possibility of redundancy, but knowing the facts will stand you in good stead should the worst happen. However, while this does sound daunting, sharpening up in areas that will demonstrate the right skills employers' need will certainly give you an advantage over other candidates. Present yourself in the best light with PACE.
