Four Glastos, nine Wembleys and 9,000 London buses: Here’s how many people have lost their jobs in 2020
Since March 2020, the number of payroll employees has fallen by 782,000 in the UK.
Stats from the Office of National Statistics show the unemployment rate now hovering around 5 per cent.
That’s hard to visualise – but what’s the scale of the economic carnage wrought on the UK economy?
Those numbers are equivalent to…
8,988 packed London Routemasters
Nine FA Cup Final crowds at Wembley
30 Ashes Crowds at the Kia Oval
Six-and-a half times the total working population of the Docklands and Canary Wharf
342 sold-out London Palladiums
49 days of visitors to the Tate Modern
2,327 sold-out British Airways 777s
Three times the population of Camden
… or 6,357 capacity Victoria Line carriages
