CBI Pertemps Network Labour Market Update | August 2025
In the three months to June 2025, unemployment and employment levels rose, the economic inactivity level and economic inactivity rate both fell, and strong wage growth continued to present signs of slowing. Moreover, the number of economically inactive who want a job hit 2 million, and vacancy levels fell for the 37th consecutive quarter. This means that as of last month, vacancy numbers have been falling continually for three years. Trends seen in recent months, therefore, have continued, with slowing wage growth and dampened hiring intentions continuing to be the key messages.
