How COVID-19 is affecting workplace routines in the Midlands
Out of our Midlands sample, 50% are currently employed in full-time or part-time jobs – a significantly lower percentage when compared to the North West, for example.
Most of them – 57.5% – are currently working remotely (both full or part-time), while 32% are unable to work from home (for example, construction workers) – a bigger proportion of people than in the rest of the areas analyses. Although in full or part-time employment, 7.5% are currently not working due to the fact they are in furlough or have COVID-19 symptoms and are self-isolating.
