TUC calls for extension of furlough as think tank finds health of labour market and pay-rises ‘hugely overstated’
BEN CHACKO speaks with Knesset member OFER CASSIF about rising political violence, the prospects for peace and his continuous ‘silencing by suspension’
THE health of Britain’s labour market and pay-rise levels have been hugely overstated, a leading think tank will warn today.
Hours worked in the British economy remain at recession levels, and most vacancies are still relatively easy to fill, despite the focus on shortages in some sectors, the Resolution Foundation says.
Its survey of 8,000 workers found that four in five who were furloughed during the first and second lockdowns are back working, while vacancies are higher than pre-crisis levels.
