The FTSE 100 has started in the red, as predicted, with banks leading the retreat ahead of the Bank of England decision later, The UK economy is still in the grip of the so called “pingdemic” which in itself is a brake on economy activity, particularly on services, which is something that the Bank of England may be concerned about
Lot’s of areas require short term training and if companies just get on with it the UK will benefit.
One long runner,
Yes, I did state it was the tip of the iceberg...

Darth,
it takes about 6 - 8 weeks to get a HGV licence so the shortage could be solved quite quickly.

Southcoast there is a huge shortage of unskilled labour because for a large section of the population it pays for them not to work and procreate and take advantage of the generous benefits system made even more generous with the 20 pounds a week uplift in universal credit which the labour party are in favour of keeping
Someones got sand in there budgie smugglers....

My psychiatrist said wot seems to be the problem Mr " Brixton" I replied , I can't tucking well get on with anybody you basket .
Lloyds are bit slow .
"Wrong Darth, there is a huge shortage of unskilled labour. This years peak is likely to be a crisis point for labour and is massively driving inflation in labour rates......"
Exactly but there's no point arguing the point with people who can't see the wood for the trees....." unthinkable lows lol" all the way from 24p to 50p.... Then starts to talk about 12 years ago!! Insane.
"Wrong Darth, there is a huge shortage of unskilled labour."
Also a huge skill shortage.....Lorry drivers, HVG, are only the tip of the iceberg.

"I'm talking facts here, not ifs and buts - there is currently a staff shortage which is a fact."
"Skilled" staff shortage.

I'm talking facts here, not ifs and buts - there is currently a staff shortage which is a fact.
All the experts predicted the opposite and they were all wrong.
Once furlough ends ~20% of them could be unemployed within 6 months.
45's is looking like tomorrow then after the divi drop
"Amazing that people thought there would be mass unemployment when the fact is there's a shortage of staff now!!"
Actually it's a shortage of "skilled" staff....So when furlough ends i should imagine unemployment will rise...
DYOR
Livestock - furlough is now the thorn in the side of employer's trying to find staff - there are mass staff shortages both in the UK and USA.
Amazing that people thought there would be mass unemployment when the fact is there's a shortage of staff now!! It only takes common sense to realise all the jobs that were there before Covid will be there after - maybe in different sectors but the jobs are there.
Once furlough ends the economy will be full steam ahead.
