Around 9% of the UK workforce changes jobs every year (I make that about 2.9 million) - see See https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/uksectoraccounts/compendium/economicreview/april2019/analysisofjobchangersandstayers">https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/n... @JonathanBoys

I& #39;m thinking about this in relation to the number of people who are going to be in churn over the next few months …https://adventuresincareerdevelopment.wordpress.com/2020/05/20/what-proportion-of-furloughed-workers-wont-have-a-job-to-go-back-to/">https://adventuresincareerdevelopment.wordpress.com/2020/05/2...

What proportion of furloughed workers won’t have a job to go back to?

There are currently 7.5 million people in Britain who are furloughed. While we are all in lockdown the economy is contracting, which suggests that there may not be jobs for all of these furloughed …

But, of course there is a big difference between being forced to move and making a choice to move.

This makes me think that comparisons between normal churn and Covid-churn might not be that useful. It is likely to be different people, moving for different reasons, in a very different labour market context.

Basically - & #39;we& #39;re not in Kansas anymore& #39;

Does anyone have any thoughts on this thread? Am I barking up the wrong tree? @lmicharlie @JonathanBoys @dncnbrn @lauracgardiner @LWpaulbivand

Oh and of course @chris_percy who with @JonathanBoys started me down this line of thinking
