Striking how base effects from UK household energy are set to be a much greater disinflationary force in Q2 in than in comparable economies. Will drive a material undershoot in UK inflation dynamics mid-year compared to peers. This is a mirror of outsized 2023 UK inflation...

Kate is sharing Recruitment & Employment Confederation experience on the labour market - and their views on what needs to change - with Work & Pensions Committee this morning. REC Press Office

This is a key point in today’s pay figures. There is a lot to wash through over the next couple of months as big corporate pay awards from Q2 2023 wash out of the system & the NLW rise come in. We’ll have a clearer steer after that. Our data on pay is below its long-term ave now.

Early start: up early to talk to BBC News about today’s UK #LabourMarket stats - then off to Bristol to spend the day with Recruitment & Employment Confederation, catching up on their businesses and discussing our shared challenges.

Exciting news! Join #RECLive24 for a dynamic Panel Discussion on 'The 2024 Business Context' featuring experts Simon French, Lennie Higgs, Tiger Tyagarajan & Neil Carberry. Gain valuable insights into economic forecasts & their impact on recruitment. 🎟️ bit.ly/4a263eL

This morning's REC Press Office #LabourMarketTracker offers further evidence of a gentle rebound in the economy, with active jobs postings up by c1% in March over Feb, driven by a c4% rise in new posts. Still way below the levels of a year ago - but a sense of resilience there (1/2)

Correct. Utter, utter madness and pandering ridiculously to nimbies.

Promising start to the year - but big picture remains that GDP still 0.2% lower than a year ago, and has been broadly flat since early 2022.

Still, hopefully a sign of better days ahead! 🤞

In line with expectations. That's good news & confirms what most business surveys have been saying, including ours. There has been a turn - but the big question is can the UK economy accelerate? I'm an optimist, but we need the economy front and centre of the election this year.

As we continue to celebrate the work of great recruiters, we couldn't resist a little throwback to when Helen Witts from 4M Recruitment Ltd (formally NxGen Recruit) highlighted the impact of excellent recruitment and building bridges between local businesses and schools #IRD24
