UK jobs: is a return to normal around the corner?

In ManpowerGlobal's latest quarterly Employment Outlook Survey, employers in the UK were asked when they think hiring will return to pre-Covid-19 levels in the country. As our infographic illustrates, a majority (56 percent) predict this to occur within the next year. One in ten believe this to be a little too optimistic, while 14 percent think we will never return to such a situation. For now though, hiring intentions remain down across every major sector and is overall at the lowest point for three decades.
