2020 - 31: Can We Save Our Jobs?

In the aftermath of the lockdown, millions of people face joblessness, redundancy or uncertainty about their future on a scale unseen since the early 1980s. Robert Peston investigates the impact on the economy, with industries shutting down overnight, millions unable to work, and many more working from home for the foreseeable future. He also asks what can be done to avoid the mistakes of past recessions and assesses whether the Government is on the right track to avoid mass unemployment.
