The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed today that Britain's available vacancies have surpassed a million for the first time on record. The food and accommodation sector saw the biggest jump in the number of vacancies available in August, increasing by 57,600. 'However, the job vacancies in Britain are not necessarily those roles that people currently on furlough either want to do or are qualified to do. Unfortunately, the end of the furlough scheme is unlikely to make a serious dent in the number of vacancies across the UK job market.' The food and accommodation sector saw the biggest jump in the number of vacancies available in August, increasing by 57,600.
