As many as one job in three in parts of Britain are at risk of being lost as a result of the coronavirus crisis, a new study has suggested.
The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) said a new social contract was needed to address widespread economic insecurity.
Its analysis revealed the areas most and least vulnerable to job losses caused by Covid-19, showing that those with a high proportion of jobs in hospitality, retail and tourism are most affected.
Richmondshire in North Yorkshire, which contains Chancellor Rishi Sunak's Richmond constituency, tops the list of areas most at risk, with its large tourism and hospitality sectors meaning 35% of jobs are under threat, said the report.
