Mostly job losses in the UK.

I've had two men in my family laid off in the last month and they can't get jobs. They are literally applying for everything, not just what they are skilled in. They even get turned down for delivery driving. Likely because there are so many other guys in the same boat.

Meanwhile in my industry people are fighting for staff. There's a really big gap between business doing well and not, those employed and not. However that will shift again when furlough ends and a load of people who have been comfortable in government and corporate jobs get sacked.
