The number of people in work in the UK rose by 83,000 on quarter to 32,569 in the three months to March of 2022, well above market expectations of a 5,000 rise. Following an increase in the employment rate since early 2012, the rate decreased from the start of the coronavirus pandemic in December 2019 to February 2020. However, there has been an increase since the end of 2020. The number of part-time employees increased during the latest three-month period; however, this was partially offset by a decrease in full-time employees. Since April to June 2021 part-time employees have been showing a recovery from the large falls during the coronavirus pandemic. The number of self-employed workers also fell during the pandemic and has remained low, although they have increased during the latest three-month period. source: Office for National Statistics
