Quote: "...hospitality and catering had gone up 18% ..." Let's spin up the inflation calculator for UK: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/in... and you get that the year is 2013. 100 pounds in 2013 are the same buying power as 117.20 pounds in 2020, which can safely be assumed is around 118 today. So people want to live just a little bit better, something like only 8 years ago and these kind of articles are wondering why employers can't find workers? How about less control and even better payment? Then you'll see there is no "workers shortage" for your business.
