The CJRS has helped 1.2 million employers across the UK furlough 9.6 million jobs, protecting people\u2019s livelihoods. Many of these employments will have already been resumed. Across the whole of the UK and all ages, the number of employments furloughed has decreased from a peak of 8.9 million on 8 May to about 4.8 million on 31 July. The CJRS must be temporary and the Government must ensure people can get back to work safely and get the UK economy up and running again.<\/p>

Building on the action taken in the face of the immediate threat posed by the virus, the second phase of the Government\u2019s response began with the targeted Plan for Jobs. The Plan places emphasis on job creation through the Kickstart scheme, a £2 billion fund to create hundreds of thousands of new, high-quality 6-month subsidised jobs for young people; as well as job protection through the Job Retention Bonus, which specifically encourages firms to keep on workers they previously furloughed. It also supports jobseekers with direct help to find work and to gain the skills they need to gain employment.<\/p>

The Government is adapting its response to the changing context, evolving as restrictions have changed.
