LONDON (Reuters) – The number of online job adverts posted by employers in Britain – a measure of how quickly the labour market might recover from its coronavirus slump – has fallen back slightly, the country’s statistics office said on Thursday.
Between Aug. 7 and 14, the total volume of online job adverts decreased from 62% to 58% of its 2019 average, partially offsetting a large increase in the previous week, the Office for National Statistics said.
The figures used job adverts provided by Adzuna, an online job search engine, the ONS said.
