Number of Neets is 30,000 higher than a year ago but figures boost efforts to reverse rise in economic inactivity The number of young people not in education, employment or training (Neet) across the UK fell below 1 million in the latest three-month period.

So Sentiment could easily drop back somewhat.Wage growth accelerated to the strongest since January, and the permanent salaries index lies above the 52.3 average seen in 2025, suggesting there has been no slowdown in pay growth over the past 18 months. Vacancy growth recovering and staff availability high but easing slightly also point to a labour market beginning to steady.Despite ongoing uncertainty it's encouraging that businesses are starting to press ahead with investment, ...
