UNEMPLOYMENT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
One of the economies most affected by the Corona virus epidemic is
England. On the one hand Brexit, and quarantine on the other, caused the period of the most debt in the history of the country.
Unemployment is also beginning to become a serious problem in England. According to a report in the BBC, there is an unprecedented application to job postings.
Carol Cairnes, Human Resources Manager of London-based D & D, said they have opened a receptionist ad for a hotel in Manchester. “In our experience, we were expecting about 30 people to show interest in the advertisement,” said Cairnes. When we looked at the advertisement less than 24 hours later, we had a small shock when we saw that 963 people applied. Among them, there were even those who worked as general directors in restaurants. It's really sad to see so many job seekers. ”
In the service sector, many businesses such as bars, cafes, restaurants and hotels were affected negatively. They had to dismiss workers because they were closed for a long time. As for the places opened, the fact that there are fewer customers due to the social distance rule means that there is no need for as many personnel as before.
The demand for intense job search is not only specific to the service sector. The perfume company Notes of Northumberland opened a 16-hour retail job ad week. Company official Emily Pringle said, “We have received 583 applications. Most of the applicants had more qualifications than we were looking for. It is a pity that there are people who study at the doctoral level and apply for this job. This situation describes the state of the market. ”
Sara John was expecting a maximum of five comebacks when he announced a bar manager. John said, “35 people applied for work. Moreover, among them were people who had worked in very good restaurants but lost their jobs. Moreover, although he lived kilometers away, there were people who wanted the job. ”
Two jobs were posted to work at the bar of Alexandra Pub in Wimbledon. Mick Dore, general manager, was puzzled when 400 people asked for jobs while waiting for a dozen applications.
According to the Employment Research Institute, there are currently 433,000 active job postings in the UK. This number is less than half of that in February. “We are undoubtedly experiencing the hardest job market of our generation,” said Institute Director Tony Wilson. Unfortunately, there is no sign of recovery yet. ”
