Andrew discusses the “cardiac arrest” in the UK job market caused by Covid-19, the competition for job offers and steps the government could take to get ahead of what could be a significant spike in unemployment in the second half of the year. 

Social responsibility is on the agenda too, as Andrew shares his insights into what job-seekers are looking for from prospective employers.

Also in this episode, Andy looks at staggering forecasts of a global growth collapse from the IMF, more bad news for the aviation sector as baggage handler Swissport lays off more than 4,000 staff, and the battle to get pubs open in time for ‘pintdependence day’ on 4 July.
