And to Peter's point on customer service, one of the key problems we're going to see with that is young people not getting interaction properly.
with customers.
Call centres are one of the areas we see within that 3%, 3.6% of employers that replaced full-time roles.
You know yourself, you're renewing your insurance, you're not getting to talk to people, you're using a chatbot, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
