Condition before the pandemic
Before the pandemic, wholesale and the retail trade have the highest job outlook. This generated around 4.97 million jobs. Health care was the next sector and generated 4.48 million jobs. After the starting of the pandemic, job outlook in the healthcare sector increased, but there was a decline in the wholesale and retail sectors. Non-essential retail establishments were closed as social distancing rules have to be followed.
According to Employment Outlook Survey, in the first quarter, the outlook was 6 percent. The survey revealed that only 49 percent of the organizations have expectations to reach the same hiring level similar to the pre-pandemic period.
Mark Cahill, the managing director of Manpower Group UK, has stated that continued resurgence is being seen in the finance and business sectors.
Sector wise outlook
Employment outlook in business and service sectors has seen an increase because of remote working. This increased the demand for workers in different fields like HR, management, and admin.
