Big rise in redundancies among young people
People aged 25 to 34 face the highest risk of redundancy as Covid pushes up the jobless rate to 5%.

There are some bad numbers in this release, as would be expected from the pandemic restrictions, but they were expected to be a little worse. In the quarter to November, there were 418,000 extra unemployed over the same period in 2019 - the sharpest annual rise since the 2009 financial crisis.
