And with the furlough scheme set to be wound down even more crippling job losses in some sectors are on their way. In his mini-Budget Mr Sunak is expected to set out his plans to help minimise mass joblessness as the economy recovers. He is expected to set out job creation schemes as well as extra support for those in sectors including hospitality, aviation and retail.
