CBI Wales responds to latest labour market statistics

Ian Price, CBI Wales Director, said:

“Another bleak set of figures this month, with Wales seeing another rise in unemployment. It just shows how hard businesses and households are being hit by the pandemic, and the rolling cycle of restrictions put in place.

“While news of a vaccine has provided hope, many firms are still finding it difficult to operate within the toughest COVID-19 restrictions. The Welsh and UK governments must continue to do everything they can to support businesses through the winter.”
