Vrsaljko Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 10 hours ago, El Cid said: From the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68639144 Some crafty wording there from DWP. Of course it will be at a record high considering the population keeps going up. The number of people on payrolls as a percentage of the working age population would likely tell you a different story. A spokesperson for the DWP said: "Our plan for the economy is working. Inflation [the rate at which prices rise] is down to 3.4%, employment is up, the number of people on payrolls is at a record high, and inactivity is falling.

Al Bundy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 25 minutes ago, Mister Gee said: Got any evidence to back that up? https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/thousands-people-uk-are-out-work-due-long-covid Almost 2 million people in the UK are estimated to be living with long COVID – after-effects of COVID that can persist for months or even years after the initial infection. Common symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness, muscle and joint pain, cognitive impairment and sleep disruption. People with long COVID also have a higher risk of developing serious heart and lung problems, stroke and blood clots compared to those who have not previously been diagnosed with COVID. Studies from multiple countries have found that long COVID is linked to an increased likelihood of not working. For example, US research found long COVID was associated with 23% higher odds of being unemployed and 16% lower odds of working full-time (25% for those with cognitive symptoms). We analysed data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to assess the situation in the UK, and similarly found long COVID to be strongly associated with being out of work.
