Timothy Adler writes for SmallBusiness.co.uk that over one third of businesses in the UK say they are struggling to fill vacant jobs, according to the country’s Office for National Statistics.

Right now there are 1.3m job vacancies in the UK – the highest number since comparable figures began being recorded in 2001. That is a 62 per cent increase in job vacancies since the pandemic.
