Description

If there's one thing we can rely on during a pandemic, it's its ability to through a spanner in the works when it comes to data. The jobs figures for August tell a big story - but you've got to look under the bonnet. Almost 150,000 people lost work ...while heaps chose to stop looking at all ...and those that still 'have' jobs saw their hours plummet.
