1/ @Jamescecon and I regularly update these #WFH charts using @ONS labour force survey data. I've no idea when it will settle. The end of these charts look like frayed knots. Firstly #WFH by broad occupation (in @CIPD lovely new brand colours)

@econcallum I wrote in 2022 about how half of the increase could be explained by demography. I think the other half was things like early retirement which naturally works through the system - https://t.co/IBrmfMSzlo

@suttontrust What’s ’own accent’?

I made a gif to show the cyclical nature of construction (and the hyper cyclical nature of housebuilding)

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@mmamertino @ONS @UKDataService It doesn’t exist annoyingly. Does in lfs though. You can a. stitch together a bunch of lfs datasets, b. Some cuts available through NOMIS query, c. Ask the social surveys team politely to do it for you, d. Become a secure access researcher and get it yourself.

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@NobleFrancis It's interesting to put other sectors alongside construction. It then doesn't seem so bad. But then again, perhaps the UK has a business failure problem.

@stabiloFFC @timleunig students. There is literally a block of student flats next to the bus station in this exact same location. and single family homes on the other side of the road.

Check out my latest article: This morning, we publish the Core Five Q4 Market Update - Below are some of the highlights https://t.co/2YXCmxkc7Q via @LinkedIn

@TeraPauliina @irinaanghel12 @business @I_Am_NickBloom I often think we have a perfect storm to embed the norm of homeworking. Housing crisis, cost of living crisis, unreliable trains.

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@TeraPauliina I wonder how many individuals are using it. I wouldn't know what to do without it.

@FelicityHannah My wife says 'boys as in boys and girls'. It's quite a masculine name.

Great chart from @JonathanBoys - among people aged 55-64 in work, one in seven (15%) want fewer hours *and* less pay.

Employers should facilitate people switching to part-time roles to retain them - and prevent them leaving the workforce.

@mbcorney @HAblett @CIPD I applied the employment rates from 30 yrs ago to todays population of 16-24 (irrespective of any question about study) so it does take that into account. Here is my longer blog. Also shows FT students increasingly do not combine work and study - https://t.co/EyslGWf87x

1/6 Can older workers can be encouraged to join the labour market?

Populations are ageing ➡️ shrinking workforce

All else equal ➡️ lower economic growth

The hope is that technology can increase productivity. #AI to the rescue

But what about the other side?

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@DuncanLamont2 I did some sums to show we would have 1mn more people in work if young people had the same employment rates as 30 years ago. Quoted in a couple of papers this week. I think people might soon be considering the trade off between labour supply and education https://t.co/EyslGWf87x

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@HeejungChung About 1/4 people in their 30s work mainly from home but it depends on occupation. If you are not an office worker its very hard to find this type of work.

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@t0nyyates I nearly got stabbed to death on Seven Sisters road. Most terrifying experience of my life. Big part of decision to move away from there.

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@DrAdamJones It's definitely one of the big concerns when I talk to people (It's not something I worry about too much). ChatGPT can do a lot but most analysis is run locally with help to get code or excel formulas.

@Dylan_Difford I was born in 1988 and I know the reference. I sometimes even listen to music and watch films from the 70s.

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@CharlesMCotton @CIPD Absolutely not.

[jonathanboys @JonathanBoys]

@LibHousing Big difference between owning outright or a young couple with a 5% deposit/absolutely mortgaged to the hilt. Does a LVT treat these the same? A tax on equity seems fair but a tax on debt doesn’t sound progressive to me (have I missed something?)
