The places worst hit for job losses since the start of the pandemic have been named.
Calculations from the Centre for Business and Economic Research show Slough has been hit worse of all - with the percentage of the working population tripling compared with last year.
After Slough, Luton, Blackpool and London are next worst off.
The misery was spread across the country, from Brighton in the south (280% more people on the dole) to Middlesbrough in the North East (186% up).
Workers in towns with large airports or reliance on aviation were hit especially hard with Slough (Heathrow) and Luton (where easyJet is based and there is also an airport).
Seaside resorts Blackpool and Brighton also suffered - with visitors staying away.
Manufacturing hubs also suffered - with Wolverhampton and Middlesbrough among the worst hit locations.
Worst hit towns according to Cebr were:
Slough (from 2.6% to 8.5%)
Luton (from 3% to 8.7%)
Blackpool (from 6.1% to 11.7%)
Bradford (from 4.6% to 9.5%)
Middlesbrough (from 5.6% to 10.4%)
Wolverhampton (from 5.9% to 10.6)
Kingston upon Hull (from 5.1% to 9.7%)
Peterborough (from 3.3% to 7.9%)
Northampton (from 2.8% to 7.3%
Brighton and Hove (from 2.5% to 7%)
The figures used Office for National Statistics data showing the increase in the claimant count in the 12 months to 10 September.
London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool were also hit hard - with disappearing in service industries in city centres as more people work from home, while entertainment and hospitality sectors are still facing tough restrictions.
They also suffered from a drop in foreign tourism.
If they'd been included in the top 10, London would rank 4th, Birmingham and Manchester joint 6th and Liverpool 11th.
Across the four cities, the number of people out of work and claiming benefits has almost tripled from 250,985 a year ago to 635,440 now.
