"Bars and restaurants turn to over-50s to overcome staffing shortages brought on by Brexit and pandemic."

"Workers aged 50 and above now account for 25.2 per cent of the 2.2mn-strong hospitality workforce, according to estimates compiled by recruiter Caterer.com. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that before 2020, over-50s made up less than a fifth of the industry’s workforce."
