Sky News published this video item, entitled “COVID-19: Green jobs could boost post-coronavirus economy” – below is their description.
Shadow business secretary Ed Miliband says investment in the ‘green’ economy could provide a post-coronavirus jobs boost. Labour is urging the government to invest £30bn in more sustainable industry and infrastructure over the next 18 months, potentially creating around 400,000 new jobs. It comes as figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show a record 314,000 redundancies were recorded in the three months to September as COVID-19 took a further toll on jobs. The unemployment rate rose to 4.8%, its highest level since November 2016 and up from 4.5% the month before.
