Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Analysis over time, business impact of coronavirus: Waves 2 to 5, UK
Page summary
This high-level article looks at those businesses who are common across different waves of the BICS survey. We use Sankey diagrams to draw out how those businesses in common have evolved between the different waves from Wave 2, Wave 3, Wave 4 and Wave 5. We look at high level information for the Turnover, Workforce and Trade related questions. This is because the Wave 1 questions do not have the same level of detail we need to assess over time for those variables.
