"Over the last year, the employment rate has followed a distinct u-shaped curve. Following a sharp decline in the aftermath of the budget, where the seasonal peak in the run-up to Christmas did not materialise and a sharp dip of -0.9% was recorded in December 2024, data shows a steady recovery from February. The UK's employment landscape has shown signs of a significant slowdown over the last 12 months."
Data are drawn from aggregated insights from more than 350,000 small businesses and 2 million employees across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, together with a YouGov survey of 3,635 workers. Over the last year the UK employment rate followed a distinct u-shaped curve, with a sharp -0.9% dip in December 2024 after the October 2024 budget and a steady recovery from February. By July 2025 employment remained positive at 3.1% year-on-year but growth decelerated markedly from around 8% the prior year, coinciding with National Insurance reforms in April. Job-hugging increased as 55% of workers prioritise job security, rising to 65% among 18-34-year-olds, while the workforce faces global conflict and unease alongside opportunities for growth and reinvention.
