WeWork stock offer comes amid doubtful need for office space

AdWeWork leases buildings and divides them into office spaces to sublet to members, which include small businesses, start-ups and freelancers who want to avoid paying for permanent office space. AdOakley said that while leasing volumes are still low, inquiries for serviced office space have been rising since the start of the year. He said the WeWork IPO is coming too soon because most large office users are still sorting out what they want to do with workers and office space. MIT's Cusumano said the model could make money if companies give up a lot of office space, then lease from WeWork for mobile offices or meetings.

(AP Photo/Alberto Pezzali)LONDON – The four nations of the United Kingdom faced mounting calls Tuesday to scrap. or at least limit, a planned easing of coronavirus restrictions over Christmas following a spike in new infections. Any potential easing over Christmas contrasts with measures being taken by other European nations such as Germany and the Netherlands, which have announced sweeping new restrictions for the holidays. When the Christmas easing was first announced last month, Johnson was careful to stress that households should be "jolly careful, especially with elderly relatives.”However, that easing announcement was predicated on an assumption that new cases would be on a downward trajectory.

Treasury chief Rishi Sunak said he understood how “people are worried about the coming winter months.”He is being urged by businesses, politicians and unions to accompany any lockdown restrictions with a financial support package to prevent mass unemployment.

The Office for National Statistics said the economy expanded by only 2.1% in August from the month before. Since May, when lockdown measures were eased, the economy has grown for four months, recovering much of the output lost.
