Hospitality firms had more than 100,000 vacancies between April and June, says ONS
Hospitality firms such as pubs and restaurants were already struggling to find enough staff before they were hit by “pingdemic” absences caused by employees being told to isolate by NHS test and trace, according to official figures.
Revenues were still below 70% pre-pandemic levels at the end of May, according to data from the Office for National Statistics released on Monday, with pubs and nightclubs faring even worse.
