The survey of 1 002 people, conducted by market research company census wide in October for recruitment website Indeed, adds to signs that long COVID-19 continues to be a factor behind widespread labour shortages in Britain. “Our research shows that the health emergency has become an employment crisis,” said Danny Stacy, a senior adviser at Indeed. Long COVID-19, a collection of symptoms ranging from pain and heart palpitations to insomnia and brain fog, can last for many months after initial infection.

Bank of England officials have highlighted lengthy waits for routine treatment in Britain’s public healthcare system, as well as long COVID-19, as potential reasons for the rise, which limits the economy’s ability to grow without boosting inflation.
