Industries are being hard hit by a shortage of staff, with more than 100,000 people needed in the haulage sector alone.

Neil Carberry, Chief Executive of the REC, said although the number of new positions is ‘good news’, he warned: ‘There is a real chance now that shortages of available workers will slow the recovery.

‘Labour shortages and the related recruitment difficulties put constraints on the economy, restricting output growth and innovation, so it’s vital we solve them quickly.’The shortages across key industries are already impacting on the entire country, with items disappearing from supermarket shelves and some petrol stations unable to get fuel.

Retailers have warned the Government that it has just 10 days to save Christmas from ‘significant disruption.’
