There are now more job openings in Britain than unemployed people

The shortage is most acute in London and the south-east. For Mortadella, a chain of three south London restaurants, one of which has just opened, it is “a bit of a scramble”, according to Sam Andrews, the group’s executive head chef. “All three places will be understaffed.”

Firms complaining of a problem finding workers is hard to square with the official labour-market data. According to the Office for National Statistics , the unemployment rate was 4.9% in February, up by around a percentage point on a year before, and that number may be an underestimate, as the pandemic has made collecting the data harder. Other measures of the jobs market tracked by thepoint to a sharper spike in joblessness.
