'Freaked out' | Jobseeker slams potential employer after 'vile' messages

The coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on the UK jobs market.

Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that 730,000 workers have fallen from company payrolls since the beginning of the crisis in March.

In addition, research from the CIPD revealed that one-third of all UK-based employers now expect to shed staff by October, with some of the worst cuts expected to come.

Elsewhere, data from CV-Library has pointed towards the current level of competition in the jobs market as the number of advertised vacancies were down 47% last month when compared to the previous year.
