LONDON, (Reuters) – British consumers spent slightly more on debit and credit cards in the week ending Oct. 7, compared to February 2020 when it was 102% lower, according to the Office for National Statistics on Thursday.

Also, while the ONS reported that the online volume of job adverts was at its highest level since the pandemic, it is still 40% below the level of pre-pandemic. Warehouse, transport, and logistics jobs saw the greatest gains, which were 380% above their prepandemic level.
