One in three people in Sydney have lost employment hours or their job completely during the extended COVID-19 lockdown, a survey has found.

A poll of 1002 Greater Sydney residents conducted by online financial broker Savvy in August found that 12 percent of respondents lost their job, and 22 percent were working reduced hours.
