CORONAVIRUS

WHAT JOBS ARE AVAILABLE POST LOCKDOWN? AN ARTICLE EXTRACT FROM BBC NEWS

"The world of work is changing - and some sectors appear to be in a much stronger position than others.According to the latest jobs market report from employment website CV-Library, the number of job vacancies in the UK fell by 62.7% in the second quarter of 2020.And for those jobs that are being advertised, competition is stiff, with the average application-to-job ratio rising by 84%. The report is the latest in a series of snapshots trying to predict - by looking at online job vacancies - where workplace opportunities might be increasing or shrinking.So, with more people battling it out for jobs, which industries are actually hiring staff? And which face a more uncertain future?"
