Working with @YF_Foundation we're calling for a reform of the existing #ApprenticeshipLevy to enhance employer investment in skills & boost opportunities for young people to secure #apprenticeships that lead to quality employment. 🧡

Investment in #skillsdevelopment is seen by #Anthropists as essential to equip the workforce with the abilities and knowledge needed to excel in today’s rapidly changing job market. Interesting to see the insights in this report from @CIPD and @YF_Foundation

[Richard Rigby @Richard_Rigby_]

It may not have hit the headlines, but last week’s official labour market stats suggests the number of young people not in employment, full-time education or training (NEET), is at its highest level in almost a decade (since winter 2014/15).

1/3

[Ben Brindle @BenBrindle_]

Today's net migration figure (685,000) is for 2023, before rules around salary thresholds and dependants were changed.

But visa data for this year suggest net migration will be lower in 2024 👇

[Migration Observatory @MigObs]

Last @ONS migration statistics before the general election show continued high net migration levels (685k), so do not offer the fall the government might want to see - but a sharp fall in visas issued points toward potential declines in the future https://t.co/iYR3pd4meJ

[Charles Cotton @CharlesMCotton]

UK grocery price annual inflation dropped to 2.4% cent in the four weeks to mid-May, down from 3.2% cent last month and the lowest since October 2021, bringing some relief to those hit by the cost-of-living crisis. https://t.co/rxNHwDrC38 via @ft @CIPD

Our Labour Market Outlook - Spring 2024 is now available to view 📊

The Labour Market Outlook is a forward-looking indicator of the UK labour market - a quarterly survey of 2,000+ employers, providing analysis on recruitment, redundancy and pay intentions combined with unique insights on labour market topics 🌍

In this quarter, the big picture shows that despite the labour market reverting to somewhat of a post-COVID normality, there continues to be a high level of vacancies and a cross-sector fall in the net employment balance 💼
