Adecco: Skills shortage caused by post-Brexit drop in EU workers

A fall in the number of EU nationals working in the UK is creating a skills shortage, despite record numbers of new job vacancies – Office for National Statistics (ONS) data and Labour Market Outlook research suggests.

Low-skilled work sectors, that typically employ large numbers of non-UK workers, are facing some of the most acute shortages. These include retail, wholesale, manufacturing, health, accommodation and food service sectors.
