UK jobs market continues to weaken as unemployment hits four-year high and wage growth slows – business live (The Guardian)
|
|

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsToday's jobs report also shows the wages in the UK public sector are rising nearly twice as fast as in the private sector.Annual average regular earnings growth was 7.6% for the public sector and 3.9% for the private sector in August to October.“Wage growth slowed further in the private sector, while increasing again in the public sector, reflecting the continued impact of some pay rises being awarded earlier than they were last year.”“The overall picture continues to be of a weakening labour market.

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsGood morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy.With the budget over, bar the inquest, attention is again turning to the health of the UK economy.“The outlook for growth in 2026 is subdued, reflecting the impact of a cooling labour market and weak household spending. But there are pockets of strength emerging in the form of data infrastructure and green energy investment. The medium-term picture could improve further if planning reforms unlock housing delivery and uncertainty reduces for investors.“With ongoing headwinds continuing to weigh on household activity, consumer spending is likely to remain subdued over the coming year. Although the Autumn Budget avoided front-loaded tax hikes, the decision to maintain frozen tax thresholds until 2031 means that fiscal drag will persist.”9am GMT: Eurozone manufacturing PMI report9.30am GMT: UK consumer credit and mortgage approvals9.30am GMT...
