A must-read thread from our Associate Economist Fergus Jimenez-England on today's #LabourMarket data ⬇️⬇️⬇️🧵 #unemployment #wages #ukeconomy




Let’s be clear: today's growth figures beat expectations. BUT the government needs growth to average ~1.6% a year over the parliament; National Institute of Economic and Social Research forecasts ~1.2% trend. Comparisons with recent history or the G7 are irrelevant. The UK is running its own race - and losing.
