According to latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, more than half of those losing their jobs in the last year were aged below 25. Of the 813,000 fall in UK employees since March last year until March this year, 53.7% were under 25-years-old.

We’d like to hear from those under 25 who have been made unemployed, or are struggling to get a job, due to coronavirus.
