Worldwide job losses in several industries hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis appear to be tapering off.
Figures from data analytics firm GlobalData show that while the jobs market has contracted since 1 March, the number of available jobs has remained flat in the hardest hit sectors over recent weeks.
All of the sectors tracked below have seen jobs shrink since the crisis began, but some have got off more lightly than others.
The statistics show that the number of travel and tourism jobs available for application has fallen to a fifth of what it was on 1 March. However, jobs in the oil and gas industry have dropped just over 30 per cent compared to 1 March.
