bbc--2020-11-10--Women and women of colour continue to change the face of Congress

1 .
At least 135 women will have a say in Congress in 2021 However , when the 117th congressional term begins in January , an unprecedented 135 women , possibly more , will serve across both houses - with 103 Democrats and 32 Republicans voted in so far , according to Rutgers University 's Center for American Women and Politics ( CAWP ) .
They could up their numbers further in some of the outstanding contests .
For example , Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler - appointed to the Senate last year to fill a vacant seat - will take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run-off election in Georgia .

But while significant progress has been made on the congressional gender balance in the last two years , men still take up almost three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the Senate .

One thing 's for sure , though , these newly-elected congresswomen representing both parties will be , from January , helping to shape legislation that will affect generations to come .
Note : Congressional figures include a number of incumbent women senators not up for election in 2020 but do not include Senator Kamala Harris , who ascends to the vice presidency , or non-voting delegates in the House .

Women continue to change the face of US politics Published 10 November 2020
Much of the focus of the US election has been the battle for the presidency between two white men, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
But the nationwide ballot also saw Kamala Harris set to become the first woman vice-president and a record number of women voted into Congress - the part of the US government that writes and passes laws.
Here's how the numbers break down ahead of Congress's new term at the beginning of next year.
1. At least 135 women will have a say in Congress in 2021
Women, who make up just over half of the US population, currently make up just under a quarter of Congress's two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
However, when the 117th congressional term begins in January, an unprecedented 135 women, possibly more, will serve across both houses - with 103 Democrats and 32 Republicans voted in so far, according to Rutgers University's Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP).
Women will take up just over a quarter of the 535 seats - 25.2% - up from the current 23.7%.
These totals could rise further, though, with the results of a number of contests still outstanding.
This year's figures are part of a long-running trend towards better representation for women, with most previous Congresses breaking the record that came before - some years more dramatically than others.
Now, for the 15th time in 16 Congresses, the proportion of women across the two chambers will rise.
Republican women have made particular progress this election after struggling to replicate the recent success of the Democrats.
In the mid-term elections in 2018, almost three-quarters of the women running for Congress were Democrats.
But from next year, while there are still more Democrat women than Republican women, the Republican Party will have its highest number of female Congressional representatives ever to serve.
So far 32 Republican women will sit across both houses, according to CAWP, surpassing the party's previous record of 30 in 2004.
They could up their numbers further in some of the outstanding contests. For example, Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler - appointed to the Senate last year to fill a vacant seat - will take on Democrat Raphael Warnock in the January run-off election in Georgia.
In the House of Representatives, the Republicans have almost doubled the number of women - from 13 to 24 - the result of concerted efforts by the party to recruit a more diverse range of candidates.

Among them are 13 "non-incumbent" Republican women - new candidates who do not already hold a seat.
However, the party still trails the Democrats, who are set to have 87 women or more serving from January.
CAWP director Debbie Walsh says the rising numbers are down to "hard work".
"Successes like these don't just happen," she says. "They require the dedicated attention of parties, donors, activists, and voters, as is particularly evident from the expanded number of Republican women candidates this year."
This year's election follows the 2018 mid-terms which saw a surge of women entering Congress for the Democrats, including "The Squad" - the informal name for a group of women elected to the House, made up of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
Image caption, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was elected in 2018
But while significant progress has been made on the congressional gender balance in the last two years, men still take up almost three quarters of the seats in the House and the Senate.
While there will be 135 women in the two houses next year, there will be 400 men.
"The work continues," says CAWP's Ms Walsh.
2. Among the new representatives are 47 women of colour
As well as seeing increased numbers of women, the 2020 election has also seen women of colour solidify presence in the two chambers.
Overall, 47 lawmakers next year will be non-white women (from black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Island and Native American backgrounds) - down one from 48 across the House and the Senate.
All except one ran for the Democrats.
Among this record-breaking intake, will be an unprecedented number of Native American women.
Republican Yvette Herrell, who is Cherokee, beat the Democratic incumbent Xochitl Torres Small in New Mexico, and will join Democrats Deb Haaland, a Laguna Pueblo member representing New Mexico, and Sharice Davids, a Ho-Chunk Nation member representing Kansas, who kept hold of their House of Representatives seats.
The wins for Ms Herrell and Ms Haaland also mean that New Mexico has become the first ever state to elect women of colour as all three of its delegates in the US House.

But diversity has not just increased inside Congress, it will be improved in the new administration's top team too.
Senator Kamala Harris is set to become the first woman elected to the vice presidency of the US. She is the third woman and the first woman of colour to be nominated by a major party for the position.
Two years ago, the 2018 mid-terms broke nearly all records in women's major-party nominations for Congress.
And this year women pushed things further still.
An unprecedented 318 women ran as Democratic or Republican candidates - official party nominees - for the 535 seats available across the House and the Senate.
That was up from the previous record of 257 set in 2018.
Of the 318 candidates, a record 117 were women of colour.
Marilyn Strickland, the first black woman to be sent to Congress by Washington state, says more women like her are now feeling comfortable standing as candidates.
"It is exciting to see so many women of colour step up," Ms Strickland told Good Morning America. "I think the more that we see folks running for office, the more that we see people holding office, the more encouraged people are."
In 2018, 234 women were nominees for the House, up more than 40% on the previous high of 167.
This year's election has seen 298 women stand as House candidates, a more modest 27% increase from the record set in 2018.
Of these, 204 women stood for the Democrats, according to CAWP, compared with 182 in 2018, and 94 stood for the Republicans, compared with 52 in 2018.
But while women House candidates increased this year, female Senate candidates fell.
There were just 20 women nominees for the Senate, compared with 23 last year.
Twelve of these stood for the Democrats - down from 15 in 2018 - while eight stood for the Republicans, the same number as in the mid-terms.
4. The newly-elected women are changing the way Congress looks and feels
Across the country there have been a number of historic wins, thrusting a diverse range of women into frontline US politics.
The state of Missouri will send its first woman of colour and first black woman to the US Congress following Cori Bush's victory last week.
The nurse and pastor, who played a high-profile role during anti-police brutality protests in Ferguson in 2014, was elected to the House for the state's first district.

Yet, despite this year's firsts and record-breaking numbers, women will still make up just over a quarter of Congress in 2021.
Women's representation in American politics has been, through "struggle and persistence" on "a long, if occasionally fitful, upward trajectory", says CAWP 's Debbie Walsh.
And while 2018 was a story of Democratic success and this year has seen gains for the Republicans, she says, advances "must come from both sides of the aisle" if equal representation is to be achieved.
One thing's for sure, though, these newly-elected congresswomen representing both parties will be, from January, helping to shape legislation that will affect generations to come.
Note: Congressional figures include a number of incumbent women senators not up for election in 2020 but do not include Senator Kamala Harris, who ascends to the vice presidency, or non-voting delegates in the House.

bbc--2020-11-10--Covid: China's Sinovac vaccine trial halted in Brazil

The firm has already been using it to immunise thousands of people at home in an emergency use programme .
Brazil has been one of the countries worst affected by coronavirus , recording more than 5.6m confirmed cases - the third highest tally in the world after the US and India - and nearly 163,000 deaths so far , according to data collated by Johns Hopkins University .
Why was the trial halted ?
On Monday Anvisa said it had `` ruled to interrupt the clinical trial of the CoronaVac vaccine after a serious adverse incident '' .
It did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it took place .
Late-stage trials for the Sinovac vaccine are also being conducted in Indonesia and Turkey , but neither of these countries have announced a suspension .
Dimas Covas , the head of Butantan , the medical research institute conducting the Brazilian trial , told local media that the trial 's suspension was related to a death .
However , he insisted that the death was not related to the vaccine , Reuters said .
`` We learned the head of Butantan Institute believed that this serious adverse event ( SAE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' it said in a statement .
`` The clinical study in Brazil is strictly carried out in accordance with GCP ( Good Clinical Practice ) requirements and we are confident in the safety of the vaccine . ''

Brazil 's President Jair Bolsonaro has been open about his preference for the vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca , saying his government would not buy a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the search for a vaccine ?
CoronaVac is one of around a dozen vaccines in the final stage of testing - known as a phase 3 trial - around the world .
The news of its suspension in Brazil came shortly after a rival vaccine developer , the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer , said its own vaccine candidate had shown 90 % effectiveness .
How has China used experimental vaccines ?

Covid: Bolsonaro hails suspension of Chinese vaccine trial Published 10 November 2020

President Jair Bolsonaro has declared the suspension of a Brazilian trial for a Chinese covid vaccine as a "victory".
The trial was halted after a "severe adverse incident" - reported to be the death of a volunteer.
Brazilian health regulator Anvisa said the incident had taken place on 29 October but gave no further details.
However the head of the institute conducting the trials has told local media the person's death was not linked to the medical trial itself.
'Another victory'
President Bolsonaro has long criticised the vaccine because of its Chinese links and said it would not be purchased by his country. He has also engaged in a political fight with the governor of São Paulo, Joao Doria, who has publicly backed the trial.
Writing on Facebook, the president said the halt of the CoronaVac trial was "another victory for Jair Bolsonaro".
The vaccine, developed by Chinese firm Sinovac Biotech, is one of several in final-stage testing globally. Sinovac says it is "confident in the safety of the vaccine".
The firm has already been using it to immunise thousands of people at home in an emergency use programme.
Brazil has been one of the countries worst affected by coronavirus, recording more than 5.6m confirmed cases - the third highest tally in the world after the US and India - and nearly 163,000 deaths, according to data collated by Johns Hopkins University.
Why was the trial halted?
On Monday Anvisa said it had "ruled to interrupt the clinical trial of the CoronaVac vaccine after a serious adverse incident".
It did not reveal what had happened, nor where it had taken place. Late-stage trials for the Sinovac vaccine are also being conducted in Indonesia and Turkey, but neither of these countries have announced a suspension.
Indonesia's state-owned Bio Farma said on Tuesday that its own Sinovac vaccine trials were "going smoothly", according to Reuters news agency.
Dimas Covas, head of the Butantan institute conducting the trials, told local media that the trial's suspension was related to a death, but insisted that the death was not linked to the vaccine.
This was backed up by Jean Gorinchteyn, Health Secretary for the state of São Paulo, who told a news conference that the death was an "external event" that was not related to the vaccine.
Mr Covas said that there had been no adverse reactions to the vaccine.
"We found this Anvisa decision strange, because it is unrelated to the vaccine. There are more than 10,000 volunteers at this moment," Mr Covas told TV Cultura.
He said the suspension had caused "indignation" and that the organisers of the trials had not been consulted. In a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Covas said he hoped trials would resume soon.
Sinovac said on Tuesday that it was communicating with Brazil about the reported incident.
"We learned the head of Butantan Institute believed that this serious adverse event [SAE] is not related to the vaccine," it said in a statement. "The clinical study in Brazil is strictly carried out in accordance with GCP [Good Clinical Practice] requirements and we are confident in the safety of the vaccine."
A pause in a clinical trial is not unusual. In September, the UK paused trials for another Covid-19 vaccine after a participant had a suspected adverse reaction.
The trials for the vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University were resumed a few days later after regulators said it was safe to continue.
Brazil's president has been open about his preference for the vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca, saying his government would not buy a Chinese-made Covid-19 vaccine.
Covid is deeply political in Brazil
Is the decision by Anvisa based on science or politics? That's the question many people are asking here because the issue of the vaccine - indeed, Covid-19 itself - is deeply political in Brazil.
From the very start, Jair Bolsonaro played down the virus, insisting the country remain open, that coronavirus was just the sniffles. But that approach was at odds with many of the country's regional leaders - even people he used to count as friends.
João Doria is the governor of Brazil's most populous (and wealthy) state. In 2018, he backed Mr Bolsonaro to become president. But the two men have since fallen out - badly.
When Covid-19 hit, Mr Doria led the way among state governors in introducing quarantine, advising people to stay at home. And that irritated Mr Bolsonaro. The governor's backing of the Sinovac vaccine has also grated.
But it's a rivalry that won't be going away any time soon. Mr Doria is expected to throw his hat in the ring for the 2022 elections too - which is why, perhaps, Mr Bolsonaro is feeling a little bit competitive.
Where are we in the search for a vaccine?
CoronaVac is one of around a dozen vaccines in the final stage of testing - known as a phase 3 trial - around the world.
This is a crucial point in vaccine development, where some experimental vaccines will fail.
The news of its suspension in Brazil came shortly after a rival vaccine developer, the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer, said its own vaccine candidate had shown 90% effectiveness.
Last month the Oxford vaccine trial reviewed the death of a volunteer in Brazil, saying an assessment had revealed no safety concerns.
How has China used experimental vaccines?
Separate to the phase 3 trials being held overseas, China is also administering experimental Covid-19 vaccines at home.
CoronaVac is among three experimental coronavirus vaccines China has been using to inoculate hundreds of thousands of people under an emergency use programme.

Hollywood actor Julia Roberts is represented by the same agency as Leicester City's James Maddison, while Samuel L Jackson's representatives - ICM Partners - has also just bought into a football agency
Oscar winner Julia Roberts and England footballer James Maddison may seem unlikely 'team-mates'.
But the major talent-spotters in the United States are getting increasingly involved in the football agency business - bringing actors and athletes under the same umbrella.
The work of football agents remains a mystery to most, but their reason for being is obvious - in June, the Football Association revealed Premier League clubs had paid £263.3m to agents in the year from 1 February 2019.
With such huge amounts of money has come increased scrutiny and significant questions.
For instance, around the role of Jorge Mendes in Republic of Ireland defender Matt Doherty's move from Wolves to Tottenham for £15m in August. Mendes is Doherty's agent. And the agent of both clubs' managers - Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo. Wolves' owners Fosun, meanwhile, have a 20% stake in Mendes' world-renowned Gestifute agency.
In 2018, the Football League investigated Mendes' relationship with Wolves and said it complied with their regulations.
Elsewhere in the industry, though, there are widespread allegations of malpractice.
Fifa, the sport's world governing body, has vowed to step in and regulate - saying it wants to "eliminate or at least reduce the abusive and excessive practices" in football.
"We are aiming for a system of balanced and reasonable regulation, instead of the law of the jungle currently in place, with conflicts of interests rife and exorbitant 'commissions' being earned left and right," it said.
Given that description, the American agencies who look after the world's biggest movie stars - with their own corporate image to protect - might want to avoid what appears to be a wild-west environment.
The truth is, they are not.

"Agencies that represent global icons at scale don't exist anywhere else. We can open doors."
Silbermann has never met Bale. Barnett will continue to provide the football expertise and guide the careers of the Welshman and Stellar's other clients, including Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
"My job is to make sure a player retires with enough money to know if they carry on working, it is because they want to, not because they have to," says Barnett.
"We spend a fortune helping these guys get to where they need to be. We have a full staff of social media people because we don't want them just going off and doing it on their own."

The Hanoi track that was to have staged the Vietnamese Grand Prix
The Vietnamese Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2021 Formula 1 calendar, raising doubts that the race will ever take place.
A street race in the capital Hanoi was due to make its debut in April this year before it was called off as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The date of the Vietnam race, 25 April, has been left blank on a 22-race schedule for 2021 published on Tuesday. The calendar could extend to 23 grands prix - a new record - if F1 can find a replacement for Vietnam.

Why did Vietnam race collapse?
The removal of Vietnam, which at the time was the first new event introduced by F1's new owners Liberty Media, has been triggered by the arrest on corruption charges of a key official responsible for the race in Hanoi.

Any replacement race next year would be at one of the tracks added to the calendar this year as a result of the pandemic, with Turkey, Italy's Imola and Portugal's Portimao the leading candidates.
Why Sao Paulo and not Rio?
One key development is that the calendar features a race in Brazil, and it is scheduled to be in Sao Paulo rather than Rio de Janeiro. The event is listed as provisional for now.
The contract for Sao Paulo's Interlagos track, which has hosted the event since 1990, ended this year, and F1 has agreed a deal for a race at a new circuit yet to be built in the Deodoro area of Rio.
However, the Rio track requires environmental approval as it involves the felling of a patch of forest.

bbc--2020-11-09--'Soft' Augusta gives DeChambeau 'ginormous advantage'

A `` soft '' Augusta National will greatly enhance Bryson DeChambeau 's chances of winning his first Masters this week , says the US Open champion 's coach .
Cooler , potentially wetter conditions than usual at Augusta this week could see the course play longer than normal .
`` The course is going to be super soft , so Bryson carrying it 330 yards is a ginormous advantage , '' said Mike Schy .
`` When you look at Matthew Wolff , runner-up at the US Open , he was hitting it pretty far , but the fairways were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carrying it 50 yards past him .
`` The guy who can carry it the farthest will have a huge advantage . ''
DeChambeau leads the PGA Tour in average driving distance at 344.4 yards this season - world number one Dustin Johnson hits 328.8 and Rory McIlroy 325.3 - and Schy says the absence of patrons and serious rough opens up the course to his advantage .
The world number six has hit a drive 403 yards in practice .
Last week he was playing at Augusta with 1988 champion Sandy Lyle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American reached the green on the 350-yard par-four third with a three-wood .
There are rumours that DeChambeau may look to clear the pine trees on the dog-leg par-five 13th to reach the 14th fairway , giving himself a better angle into the green .
`` I do n't know how else to say it without giving the full deal away .
I want it to be kind of a little bit of a surprise , '' said DeChambeau .
`` For the most part , it 's going to be definitely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as possible and give ( myself ) the best chance to have a wedge into the green , especially on the par fives .
I can reach all of them . ''
`` I think it is doable , because nobody is there to block the ball and end up in a bad spot , '' added Schy .
`` It 's going to be interesting if that 's available .
If the ball is able to roll through there then that is definitely in play . ''
This will be DeChambeau 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best finish coming in 2016 when he tied for 21st as the low amateur .
Schy says the 27-year-old `` knows and understands '' Augusta and has tipped him to win a Green Jacket .
`` Bryson loves that place , '' he told BBC Sport .
`` It 's one thing to say ' I love Augusta ' , it 's another thing to say ' I love it so much I want to know every square inch of it ' .
`` That 's how Bryson prepares for Augusta .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knows the nuances of the golf course extremely well .
It 's a place he loves entirely .
`` I fully expect him to win a Masters sometime , if not more , because he is just made for that place and potentially more so now with the added length . ''
However , Schy says DeChambeau has not become a major winner on brute force alone , with his added distance off the tee improving his confidence and overall game .
`` The reality is , the reason Bryson is doing what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improved so dramatically in the past year and a half , '' said Schy .
`` What the length has done and the fact he is hitting it so far , it has given him more confidence .
`` Confidence translates to approach shots and certainly his putting and how he approaches the game .
He is hitting it far and straight too , it has increased his confidence level exponentially .
`` He has become a great putter , and in order to win at Augusta you have to be a great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world right now , I would say probably number one . ''

A "soft" Augusta National will greatly enhance Bryson DeChambeau's chances of winning his first Masters this week, says the US Open champion's coach.
The American, who has bulked up over the past year, outmuscled Winged Foot to win his first major in September.
Cooler, potentially wetter conditions than usual at Augusta this week could see the course play longer than normal.
"The course is going to be super soft, so Bryson carrying it 330 yards is a ginormous advantage," said Mike Schy.
"When you look at Matthew Wolff, runner-up at the US Open, he was hitting it pretty far, but the fairways were hard and fast, whereas Bryson was carrying it 50 yards past him.
"The guy who can carry it the farthest will have a huge advantage."
DeChambeau leads the PGA Tour in average driving distance at 344.4 yards this season - world number one Dustin Johnson hits 328.8 and Rory McIlroy 325.3 - and Schy says the absence of patrons and serious rough opens up the course to his advantage.
The world number six has hit a drive 403 yards in practice. Last week he was playing at Augusta with 1988 champion Sandy Lyle and the Scot said on Monday that the American reached the green on the 350-yard par-four third with a three-wood.
There are rumours that DeChambeau may look to clear the pine trees on the dog-leg par-five 13th to reach the 14th fairway, giving himself a better angle into the green.
"I don't know how else to say it without giving the full deal away. I want it to be kind of a little bit of a surprise," said DeChambeau.
"For the most part, it's going to be definitely trying to hit as far out there as possible and give (myself) the best chance to have a wedge into the green, especially on the par fives. I can reach all of them."
How DeChambeau may play the 13th hole at Augusta National - most drives tend to end up between the trees where the fairway is at its narrowest
"I think it is doable, because nobody is there to block the ball and end up in a bad spot," added Schy. "It's going to be interesting if that's available. If the ball is able to roll through there then that is definitely in play."
This will be DeChambeau's fourth appearance at the Masters, his best finish coming in 2016 when he tied for 21st as the low amateur.
Schy says the 27-year-old "knows and understands" Augusta and has tipped him to win a Green Jacket.
"Bryson loves that place," he told BBC Sport. "It's one thing to say 'I love Augusta', it's another thing to say 'I love it so much I want to know every square inch of it'.
"That's how Bryson prepares for Augusta. He knows the greens extremely well, he knows the nuances of the golf course extremely well. It's a place he loves entirely.
"I fully expect him to win a Masters sometime, if not more, because he is just made for that place and potentially more so now with the added length."
However, Schy says DeChambeau has not become a major winner on brute force alone, with his added distance off the tee improving his confidence and overall game.
"The reality is, the reason Bryson is doing what he is doing is his putting has improved so dramatically in the past year and a half," said Schy. "What the length has done and the fact he is hitting it so far, it has given him more confidence.
"Confidence translates to approach shots and certainly his putting and how he approaches the game. He is hitting it far and straight too, it has increased his confidence level exponentially.
"He has become a great putter, and in order to win at Augusta you have to be a great putter. He is a top-10 putter in the world right now, I would say probably number one."

UK unemployment rate continues to surge Published 10 November 2020

The UK's unemployment rate rose to 4.8% in the three months to September, up from 4.5%, as coronavirus continued to hit the jobs market.
Redundancies rose to a record high of 314,000 in the same period, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Firms made more workers redundant in anticipation of the end of the furlough scheme, which was originally supposed to finish at the end of October.
It has now been extended until the end of March.
Analysts said the extension had come "too late in the day" to save some jobs and further big rises in unemployment were likely in the coming months.
How many are affected and which age group is faring worst?
The number of people out of work rose by 243,000 in the three-month period, the largest increase since May 2009.
The redundancy figure was higher, however, because it included people who may have lost their jobs and then retired or decided to stop looking for work.
The ONS figures also showed there was a big rise in the number of 16 to 24-year-olds out of work.
The unemployment rate among young people is far higher than the overall rate.
What about the bigger picture?
ONS deputy national statistician for economic statistics Jonathan Athow told the BBC: "We're seeing a continuation of a weakening of the labour market, fewer people on the payrolls and fewer people employed overall. That is now passing through to increasing unemployment altogether."
He said the UK was starting to see people fall out of work in quite large numbers. However, there were still about 2.5 million people on furlough, with "quite a lot of uncertainty" about what would happen to them.
"We might see furlough creep up again and that might mean we don't see any further big increases in redundancies or unemployment, but it's way too early to tell what will happen," he added.
Mr Athow said vacancies continued to recover from the very low numbers seen earlier in the year, but those figures predated the reintroduction of lockdown restrictions in many parts of the UK.
What do unemployed people say?
Justin Miller was made redundant as a lifeguard in July. He is a graduate who has applied for more than 100 jobs, but has not once been invited to an interview.
"I've been looking for opportunities, but I just haven't had any luck with anything I've been doing," he told the BBC.
"There's a lot of jobs out there locally with local shops, but I've been competing against other people that could have been made redundant with 10, 20 years' experience, so I've got no chance of getting those jobs.
"Most of the time I'm not even hearing anything back. It's just been really difficult," he says.
"It definitely plays on your mental health. There's a lot of thoughts that go on in your head because you've had so much rejection.
"It's a question of keeping myself motivated and not letting it get me down too much."
How do you improve your chances of finding work?
Image source, SNap
If you keep getting rejection emails, ask them why, says Claire Valoti, a boss at social media company Snap.
"Not everyone is going to give you feedback, but some will. The important thing is to figure out what's not working and how you can better sell yourself."
"Be bold," she says. Ask a recruiter or someone in your industry, since job applications and interviews are things at which you can improve, she recommends.
What are economists saying?
Tej Parikh, chief economist at the Institute of Directors, said the pandemic continued to bring "turbulence" to the UK jobs market.
"The extension of the furlough scheme through to March is welcome as it has given directors certainty to plan ahead for their staff. Unfortunately, the change appears to have come too late in the day for some."
Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "While there was a rise in the number of job vacancies, this is more likely to reflect a temporary bounce as the economy reopened before recent restrictions were reintroduced, rather than a meaningful upturn in demand for labour.
He said the extension to the furlough scheme would safeguard a significant number of jobs in the short term.
"However, with firms facing another wave of severely diminished cashflow and revenue and with gaps in government support persisting, further substantial rises in unemployment remain likely in the coming months."
How bad is this compared with previous downturns?
Given the scale of the economic shock we've been through, the impact of the pandemic on the official unemployment rate remains mild. A level of 4.8%, encompassing 1.62 million people, is low by historic standards. And current predictions that unemployment will peak at 7-8% also look modest, given the fact that we're now in an economic double-dip of unprecedented proportions.
That won't be any consolation to the record 314,000 people made redundant from July to September. Fully informed by scientists about the risks of a second wave, Chancellor Rishi Sunak spent four months telling the nation he was against extending the furlough scheme beyond October ("I cannot save every business. I cannot save every job").
Indeed, the chancellor said in his winter economy plan in September it was "fundamentally wrong" to hold people in jobs that only exist inside the furlough and only changed his mind with hours to go. There can be no doubt that a large chunk of those people made redundant would still be in work, had their employers known the government would throw its policy into reverse at the last minute.
But with 2.5 million workers still reliant on furlough (according to the ONS), there are many more who can be glad the government executed that U-turn.
What has the political reaction been?
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the figures underlined "the scale of the challenge" that the country was facing.
"I know that this is a tough time for those who have sadly already lost their jobs, and I want to reassure anyone that is worried about the coming winter months that we will continue to support those affected and protect the lives and livelihoods of people across this country," he added.
The government had extended the furlough scheme to protect jobs and launched the £2bn Kickstart programme to help young people, he said.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Jonathan Reynolds said people had lost their livelihoods because of the government's "failure to face up to the scale of this jobs crisis in time".
"We've had enough last-minute changes and bluster from this government," he added.
The chancellor needs to urgently provide support to those who have lost their jobs and get Britain back to work - including through a green recovery to help create hundreds of thousands of low-carbon jobs."
