Read full article: UK's hospitality sector sounds alarm on jobs amid curfewāWe are doing that data again but we anticipate it will be far higher due to local restrictions, the national constraints on events, working from home and the curfew,ā she said. The programme will be replaced by the less generous Jobs Support Scheme, which will see the government pay up to 22% of wages for workers who come back from Nov. 1. Many workers on furlough returned to their jobs when the sector reopened in early July after months of lockdown. But Nicholls said around 900,000 hospitality workers remain on furlough and urged the government to do more to ensure that most of them remain in their jobs through winter. That would push unemployment towards the 3 million mark, a level the U.K. has not seen since the early 1990s.
