UK High Streets Remain Quiet as Businesses Struggle to Get Back to Normal
The UK’s return to work following lockdown continues to be worryingly slow. However, a report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) confirmed that the number of people travelling to work has increased slightly in recent weeks.
The Latest Numbers
The ONS stated that 57% of British working adults travelled to their workplace in the days from 26 August to the 30th of that month. This was a modest increase from the 55% that made this trip a couple of weeks earlier, and a more significant jump from the 33% reported in May.
