Adzuna's reponse to the Chancellor's statement: "The Chancellor is throwing the country a lifeline"

"The Chancellor is throwing the country a lifeline to preserve jobs and keep small businesses and vulnerable sectors such as hospitality & tourism afloat. The loss of well over 700,000 jobs since the start of the pandemic has been tragic, and these measures will go a long way to keep a lid on skyrocketing unemployment across Britain. With these measures in place, the key now is going to be job creation in growth industries and addressing how the government can attack on all fronts to create new opportunities. It's important to remember that we haven't shut down the whole economy and in the wake of huge employer uncertainty, we need to boost labour demand and hiring confidence to get Britain's job market back on its feet."
