Just over a quarter of disabled people said they had or were facing losing their job

The free information service says it is helping people worried about redundancy every two minutes.

‘We’ve also conducted some polling that suggests that disabled people, parents, carers and those people who have previously been shielding are more than twice as likely to be at risk of redundancy as other workers. Almost half of those who have been shielding during the pandemic said they have lost their jobs or were being made redundant

The 'shecession': why economic crisis is affecting women more than menFrom February to May, 11.5 million women lost their jobs compared with 9 million men – underlining how women are more vulnerable to sudden losses of income Feels like targeted harassment More Guardian bullshit.
