Brexit Britain surges as UK economy roars back with 240k NEW jobs and unemployment plunge
Shared by an economist with the free market Institute of Economic Affairs, Julian Jessop, the figures show that a post-Brexit Britain is on the rise, and imply that the UK is back to pre-Covid levels of economic activity. Official figures show that the introduction of 241,000 payroll jobs added in August of this year has taken the total back to pre-Covid levels.
Mr Jessop shared a graph showing figures of payroll employees for a period between July 2014 and August 2021 which highlights that the number of employees declined between February and November 2020, before rising more recently.
The Office for National Statistics info shows that the number of payroll employees increased by 241,000 to 29.1 million in August, which has caused a lift in employment in regions of the UK to pre-pandemic levels except in London, Scotland and south-east England.
The figures, which are collected from HMRC data, show a surge in payroll jobs which could be due to the relaxation of lockdown rules in July, which sparked a surge of hiring in the UK job market.
