London jobs are settling below pre-Covid levels, recruitment portal says

Quick Summary:

LONDON – London vacancies are set to remain below pre-Covid levels, lagging behind the rest of Britain after hybrid working trimmed demand for shop assistants and baristas near offices.

Hotels, pubs and restaurants had to lift wages and prices after they were disproportionately hit by the previous Conservative government’s policies, including two back-to-back big increases in the minimum wage, higher alcohol taxes and stricter limits on work visas.

London vacancies are likely to be nearing their lowest point in the current downturn, according to Mr Kennedy at Indeed.
