New labour market statistics out this morning – and this month's data include the pay growth figure that will feed into the next 'triple lock' uprating of the State Pension. Mine and @hannahslaughter.bsky.social's @resolutionfoundation.org response thread:

Today’s labour market statistics show that the decent GDP growth from the early summer isn’t (yet) translating into stronger employment and pay, which both remained fairly flat in the latest month. Our @resolutionfoundation.org thread from me and @louisemurphy.bsky.social 🧵...

“A lot of the [NEET] problem is technical education routes,” Andy Burnham said today. Good to see the PM’s read matching what our research shows. A thread 🧵

Responding to new labour market stats out this morning, we've taken a step back to look at the legacy the Starmer govt left to Andy Burnham – higher unemployment and fewer payrolled jobs, but some real wage growth and shrinking regional pay gaps. A thread with @hannahslaughter.bsky.social 🧵:

This morning’s data shows a weak labour market: unemployment remains high and real wages are barely growing. The monthly LFS unemployment data is volatile but the big picture is that unemployment has been climbing for the past few years and stood at 4.9% in the three months to April.

This morning’s labour market stats show the UK labour market entered the period of the war in the Middle East in a weak place: unemployment at 5%, payrolled jobs falling and real wage growth grinding to a halt. A thread from me and @nyecominetti.bsky.social 🧵

What is Britain's NEET rate rising? Half of the increase can be explained by a weaker labour market. As overall unemployment has risen, so too has the NEET rate. But as the chart shows, this doesn't explain all of the rise. So what else is driving up the UK's NEET rate?

With the UK perilously close to having over one million NEETs for the first time in 13 years, the Chancellor should use the Spring Forecast on Tuesday to take action and prevent youth unemployment rising further👇

1. Youth unemployment is rising

The number of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) increased slightly at the end of last year to reach 957,000.

The recent uptick has been driven by a weakening jobs market which has left almost one-in-six (16.1 per cent) young people who want to work unable to find a job.

2. The Government should act fast...

The Government must act fast to tackle this growing problem. While the Chancellor promised a ‘policy-free’ fiscal event next Tuesday, she should make a NEET exception because too many young people risk being left behind.

3 ... to expand the Jobs Guarantee....

The Chancellor should expand the recently-announced Jobs Guarantee. Currently, the scheme is open to 18-21-year-olds who have been unemployed for a minimum of 18 months. Eligibility should be broadened to include 22–24-year-olds, and the qualifying period reduced to six months.

4 ....and pause minimum wage alignment

The Government should also pause the convergence of the youth minimum wage with the National Living Wage until youth unemployment begins to fall.

NEET estimates for Q4 2025 from ONS this morning. We already pretty much had the picture for Q4 from the main stats release last week (rising unemp) but let's run through the charts. And then zoom out. First - the number crept up ever so slightly. Importantly for comms the number remains below 1m.

Tomorrow the ONS will publish new data on the number of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET). This is important – and not just because the number is very close to one million…

🚨 New inflation data this morning delivered double good news as a big fall in January CPI signals rapid return to ‘normal’ inflation ⤵️ buff.ly/aLFrbmD

James Smith, Chief Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:

“There was finally some good news as CPI inflation fell sharply in January to its lowest level since March last year. The fall was broad based, driven by lower prices for some key staples such food, energy and petrol.

“The fall in January signals a rapid return to ‘normal’ inflation in the coming months as the rate of price rises settles close to the 2 per cent target for the first time since before the pandemic.

“While the era of high inflation is hopefully behind us, it has left us with a legacy of a lasting increases in the cost of essentials that continues to stretch the budgets of the country’s poorest families.”
