Scottish Labour has said businesses are being “suffocated” by the Scottish Government, as figures show significant recruitment worries from employers.
The latest Business Insights and Conditions Survey for Scotland showed between 40% and 50% of employers experienced difficulties recruiting employees every month in the last year.
According to the data, 40.5% of all businesses surveyed reported recruitment concerns between 2 and 14 May, while figures in accommodation and food services (48.8%) and construction (50.4%) were significantly higher.
