In this episode, Vinay Tanna digs deep into the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on jobs in the UK. The disruption caused by Covid meant many businesses could not operate in the usual way. Many of their employees couldn’t go to work and customers couldn’t buy their products or services. 
While some businesses were able to get a loan to pay for overheads like rent to keep afloat, others could sell things online. But many cut costs by furloughing their employees or letting them go as they simply could not carry on running their business without an income. Here, we dive into what it has all meant for the jobs market.
