A new inquiry publication sets out the pandemic experience of Scottish workers, drawing on accounts from employees, key workers and people made redundant. The report presents “voices” gathered from across the period, focusing on how different groups experienced the disruptions and economic impacts of COVID-19.
The publication, titled “Voices from Businesses and Individuals,” compiles material from thousands of participants. It is framed as an inquiry into how workplaces and livelihoods were affected, using first-hand perspectives rather than a single institutional viewpoint. Coverage from different outlets highlights the breadth of contributors—both workers still employed during the pandemic and those who lost their jobs—while emphasizing that the publication is based on large-scale input rather than case studies alone.
