Thu, 26th Nov 2020 09:32

LONDON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The proportion of British workers
on furlough has jumped to its highest level since late June
following the introduction of a temporary four-week lockdown
across England, official figures showed on Thursday.

Businesses reported that 15% of staff on average were on
furlough between Nov. 2 and Nov. 15, up from 9% in the previous
survey, the Office for National Statistics said.
