Our October UK Economy & Labour Market Report explores the economic and workforce trends shaping UK businesses.
This month’s figures show a mixed picture. Inflation has risen to 3.5%, while job vacancies have fallen again. However, employment has edged up and active job postings have increased slightly.
Drawing on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), the report examines the latest UK economic outlook and labour market trends.
It also considers what these changes mean for hiring, workforce planning, business investment and digital transformation. Whether you’re leading a team, planning growth or managing organisational change, you’ll find practical insight to support your thinking.
