A load of crap for various reasons that even ignores the number of higher echelon jobs there are in an organisation.

No but it helps and don't forget affordable rents and some council houses. As council houses need to be self funded I don't expect huge numbers of new builds. That aspect also influences time scales for improving existing stock where that is feasible. The other option is demolish and rebuild...

Levels of management are needed especially in larger organisations. Also some degree in smaller ones. Stick to ones that are employed. Director levels and CEO's. These are the ones that are likely to have specific contracts that are rather different to the ones an ordinary worker gets. CEO's...

;) Service and MOT. £200 inc new rear wiper blade.

once again he will probably do some of what they say so they can remain famous; LOL He seems to have learned from the UK. Very recent new comment - it'll be tough initially.

Another related bit from them The employment raterises a little in the near term and then declines through the rest of the forecast period to just under 60 per cent. This is more than 1½ percentage points below its pre-pandemic peak and is driven mainly by higher inactivity(Chart 2.12...

Some of that is down to the UK having a rather long stagnant period of wage growth. Min wage a little different as gov decides when to increase it and by how much. Th budget and unemployment. Plotting out economics of a country is difficult and both short and long term effects have to be...

One of the reports I posted compared taxation levels over a number of countries. I didn't post the image as it would have been a bit hard to read. It's interesting to look at which ones collect more. From the OBR 2.13Labour supply growth falls from 0.9per cent in 2024to around 0.5 per cent in...

In a sense it probably is. Produced by a think tank; Last time he was in they claim they predicted his actions. They may well have predicted some he didn't do as well. This is their only claim for fame.

My impression is treatment intended to prolong life that the body in a general sense does not always survive. I know of 3 cancer cases where his seems to have happened. I do not know that many people.Ages of these I'd say mid 60's to early 70's. Another much older was an uncle 92 who fell and...

You didn#t notice the post from the NOS page where employment is up? The entire page says a ;ot about the problems they have coming up with accurate figures and also different methods of studying it.

When our smart meter was installed the fitter muttered something on the lines that they were not working. I didn't take a lot of notice until recently we noticed that all of our bills are estimated. Where do I live - B'ham. Do mobiles work in the house - yes. Meters - seems not.

There is another factor. Treatment can prove to be lethal to people who are terminally ill.

The early estimate of payrolled employees for October 2024 decreased by 5,000 (0.0%) on the month but increased by 95,000 (0.3%) on the year, to 30.4 million. The October 2024 estimate should be treated as a provisional estimate and is likely to be revised when more data are received next month...

However, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) urged caution over giving too much weight to its latest jobs figures due to issues with how it gathers the data. While wage growth has eased, pay is still rising faster than inflation, which measures the rate of price increases. Excluding...

I wonder what the Swiss do over all and also what the results have been. Countries often borrow ideas from others as results of changes can be more apparent.

Well as things stand we will be seeing what happens - eventually. The Gov, OBR and BofE think it will be absorbed by price increases = +0.3% inflation, then another 0.4% via wage increase - general ones as they put it across. both short term.

Yes hospitality. The sector where inflation has refused to come down. They have often said they are absorbing their costs increases so are trying to recover profit levels and also accounting for additional inflationary cost increases. Food for instance. Their prices are still increasing due to...

Maybe look at council house management now. Afraid it's a few links. None are long. Intent and funding https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/50306/commissioners_intervention_and_improvement/2896/budget_consultation_2024_to_2025_-_faqs/3 What is a leaseholder...

No one seems to be very keen on guessing what Trump will do so we are left with theories a number of them and way too many mentions of them. It's another wait and see.
