Neue Daten zeigen, dass die Arbeitslosigkeit in Großbritannien den höchsten Stand seit vier Jahren erreicht

*“We see different patterns across the age ranges with record numbers of over-65s in work, while the increase in unemployment was driven mostly by younger people.*

Boomers now not even letting young people prop up their Triple Lock lol.

If you want a job doing then do it yourself.

Just had to increase employee ni instead of employer. Was a crazy decision

Not surprising really, loads of companies have been “restructuring” lately. Basically means they’re hiring fewer people and squeezing more work out of whoever’s left

I had a look at the stats just yesterday, for an assignment I’m writing. The underlying trend is worrisome and lower levels of unemployment were beginning to flatten out and trend upwards again even without Covid being taken into account in 2020.

We’re nowhere near the historic highs of the 70s & 80s, but full employment is still a long way off and we’re trending in the wrong direction.

When you consider how Britain doesn’t have a specialist industry anymore, and everything seems to just circle around the service industries, it’s hard to see a way to grow the economy in a way that will lift employment levels longer term.

God this November budget is gonna hit normal people so hard as I doubt they are gonna touch anything to do with employment with how shaky its looking

Again this is not a suprise when Labour have watched 100,000 jobs vanish from the job market during thier time in power so far, instead of tyring to address the lack of business confidence in the job market they took the means to create more instability. The NMW increase and the NI increase was a double punch for buisness who were already worried about things back when Labour took power. They should have just increase the NMW first and it used it to litmus test the strain an NI increase could have.

Combine that with Labour greaty reducing the support towards the The Disability Confident scheme, Trump’s tarrifs, a continuing drop in consumer confidence and Labour falling to match the growth on Sunak’s last year in government it means businessess have seen a disruption in supply chains, do not have confidence in the government and over all and are pushing more work on exisiting ‚reliable‘ employees rather than replacing workers who are leaving. This feeds into employers ramping up searches for unicorn candidates which results in job ads that are too strict in what they want while having 100+ people applying for them cos people are desperate for a job.

Thanks for ni and min wage rise, who would have thought?

I am looking forward to some coherent right wing alternative policies being put forward as opposed to the lazy bashing and criticism.

I fear I will have a very long wait.

The weird thing is the government keeps blaming unemployed people for being unemployed. Doesn’t matter how many jobs you apply for, or how few jobs are available in your area, the DWP blames jobseekers for not taking jobs that don’t exist.
