Adzuna comments on ONS economic activity, faster indicators: "We can see an Eat Out to Help Out boost in today's numbers"

Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna, comments:

"We can see an Eat Out to Help Out boost in today's numbers. The scheme has bolstered the recovery of the Catering & Hospitality sector with a noticeable pick-up in hiring pace from August, adding to the steady gains in job ads made since June. Vacancy levels are now at 37% of the average weekly volumes seen in 2019, up from a low of just 13% at the beginning of June. It's a clear sign that Rishi Sunak's dining out package has injected new confidence into the Catering & Hospitality sector and that business owners are bringing people back to work and making money again. The sector was one of the hardest hit by Covid-19 with job openings falling dramatically, but slowly and surely it is getting back on its feet."
