The jobs are back. There are a mass of open positions in the hospitality industry – we all know about that – but there are also thousands of jobs for professionals from the big consultants, such as EY, PwC and KPMG, and from the banks, led by Citi. The job market is now for the first time even stronger than it was on the eve of the pandemic last year. This is quite separate from the chaos imposed by the call for people to self-isolate because they have been pinged by the Covid app, and it is separate from the distortions that have followed the continuation of the furlough scheme. These are permanent jobs right across the skill range.
