UK Job Vacancies Hit Record Levels As Amazon Offers £50 Bonus For Turning Up For Work On Time!

UK Job vacancies hit a record high as the labour market bounced back, according to official figures.

The number of job vacancies in the UK hit 953,000 in the three months to July, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.7% in the three months to June, while the annual growth in average pay was 7.4%.

Firms like Amazon and Tesco are offering up to £1000 signing-on bonuses with the former giving staff a £50 per week bonus for 100% attendance.

Amazon recently advertised that new starters who start working before 18 September would receive a £1,000 ‘golden hello’ fee.

A shortage of HGV drivers is threatening to cause empty supermarket shelves by Christmas.

Nurses and care staff are again in short supply. The NHS has 168,000 job vacancies in the UK.

This contrasts sharply with last year’s deep recession when unemployment rising job vacancies under 400,000 and millions of people were on the government funding furlough scheme.

The economy is rebounding has yet to reach pre-pandemic levels. The government has printed billions to stave off economic collapse and unprecedented debt levels are near 100% of GDP. In June 2021 there were 1.6 million people unemployed and millions more claiming universal credit and disability benefits.

Should Britain Issue UK Working Visas For Foreign Lorry Drivers?

Should UK Issue Working Visas For Foreign Lorry Drivers?

With the threat of a Christmas shortage of turkeys, the UK government is under pressure to create a short-term working visa scheme for foreign lorry drivers, the BBC reports.

The Covid pandemic and Brexit has left transport firms desperate to recruit drivers and government departments have been in discussion options with the industry, including introducing special visas.

Ministers have rejected calls to introduce visas for drivers while urging firms to use local labour.

The industry wants drivers to be added to the official UK Shortage Occupations list, enabling them to qualify for a skilled worker visa.

Is UK immigration the magic bullet for industry?

But the government wants the industry to employ British drivers, which the industry said is impossible in the short term due to the training costs and time it takes to pass the rigorous HGV (heavy goods vehicle) driving test in the UK.

Training HGV drivers typically takes six to nine months and costs up to £7,000. Many British drivers claim that the low pay and poor working conditions are deterring people from entering the sector.

Businesses warn that the shortage of drivers is jeopardising deliveries to retailers and pushing up food prices for consumers.

The sector is also reeling from the impact of the pandemic, which has prevented thousands of new drivers from taking their HGV tests last year.

European drivers returned home when work dried up last year and have not been able to return because of immigration rules brought in after Brexit. Thousands of EU migrants failed to apply for UK settlement despite efforts by the Home Office to promote a low-cost easy route during the two-year run up to Brexit.

The Road Haulage Association estimates that there is currently a shortfall of about 60,000 hauliers and said that the situation for food supplies was "close to a crisis point".

There was a risk that some items would run out in supermarkets at certain times in a way similar to "rolling blackouts" for electricity, it said. Source: BBC.

As I said in my video post this week, I have not yet seen any evidence of major shortages on supermarket shelves. The problem is that warnings of a food shortage could become a self-fulfilling prophesy as shoppers start to hoard and panic buy.

Should the Home Office issue special UK working visas for drivers, they will almost certainly apply only to EU citizens.

Importing overseas workers to plug skill shortages has been used in the UK since the 1950’s ‘Windrush’ generation right up to hiring nurses from the Philippines and other countries today.

What’s your view? Should we train more British workers to do those jobs or is it the situation more complex?

1.5 million work in UK digital economy, but are you ready for the next economic revolution?

More than 1.5 million people now work in UK digital economy, the BBC reports. However, with more tech start-up companies forming all over the country, a House of Commons report warns that 12.6 million adults lack basic digital skills, while 5.8 million have never used the internet at all.

The report by the Commons Science and Technology Committee found that:

• 22% of IT equipment in schools is ineffective
• Just 35% of computer science teachers had a relevant qualification
• Only 70% of the required number of computer science teachers have been recruited
• The UK needs another 745,000 workers with digital skills by 2017
• 90% of jobs require digital skills to some degree
• Skills gap costs economy around £63bn a year in lost income

The authors are calling on the government to formulate a digital strategy as a matter of urgency and businesses to invest more and better training at all levels of education.

"The UK leads Europe on tech, but we need to take concerted action to avoid falling behind. We need to make sure tomorrow's workforce is leaving school or university with the digital skills that employers need," the committee's chairwoman, Nicole Blackwood, said.

A government spokesperson replied: "This government recognises the crucial role digital skills play in our society and economy. Our Digital Strategy, to be published shortly, will set out how we will help employers and individuals access the tools they need to power our digital economy.

"This will make sure we are well placed to remain a tech leader in Europe. We will consider the Select Committee's report and respond in due course," they added.

Digital skill

The Science and Technology Committee said that whilst there is no single definition, a digital skill is understood to be the ability to use computers and digital devices to access the internet, the ability to code or create software and the ability to critically evaluate media, and "to navigate knowingly through the negative and positive elements of online activity and make informed choices about the content and services they use". Source: BBC News.

The report confirms my belief that millions of people are sleep walking into the next economic age, the digital age, total unprepared for the seismic change which will replace hundreds of millions of jobs in western countries like the UK, U.S., Canada and Australia.

If you try tinker at it on your own you will reduce your chances of making enough money to quit your job and living the life you really want.

Millions of people already work from home earning a living by using platforms such as Amazon, Ebay, Upwork and of course Uber.
