Wake Up to Money: What will happen to our jobs?

What will happen to our jobs?

BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, What will happen to our jobs?

What will the coronavirus crisis do to the UK jobs market?

After more bleak economic data and as Tui becomes the latest company to cut thousands of jobs, Danni Hewson looks at how the Coronavirus recession might affect the UK workforce.

The Chancellor Rishi Sunak says a significant recession is on the way. Danni investigates whether lots of people are furloughed in zombie jobs that simply won't exist when our economy re-opens. Or - as the chancellor suggests - will things bounce back quickly?

She also hears from the boss of luxury car maker Bentley which has brought just under half of its UK workforce back to the factory floor. And she meets the boss who's now running a call centre from her workers homes.

Plus Wake Up To Money's learned there's a shortage of the plastic being used to make the screens currently keeping lots of workers safe.
