Eight out of ten UK businesses claim they cannot hire skilled staff, according to the results of a survey published on Monday.
Sectors with the greatest skills shortages are energy and utilities, healthcare and life sciences, transportation and logistics, finance and real estate, and information technology, employers told the ManpowerGroup survey.
Michael Stull, director of the US-based temp group, said the coronavirus pandemic had exacerbated an existing talent shortage.
“Talent shortages are always an issue for employers, but the real change in our data can be seen after 2019,” he said.
The survey sought responses from 2020 UK companies.
