UK jobs | Vacancies plummeted by more than 60% in Q2

The unprecedented devastating effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the UK workforce are yet to be fully realised; recent ONS data discovered that over 600,000 people lost their jobs within the lockdown, whilst each day different companies announce redundancies and downsizing as they struggle to regain normality.

This week, Marks & Spencer is expected to reveal its latest spate of job cuts, after revealing that it plans to ‘restructure’ its workforce. It joins the likes of John Lewis & Partners, Boots and Debenhams in culling roles.
