I think McDonalds are hiring. With a degree they can go straight in as a 3 star employee and work their way up to 5 stars to enable them to job share with Chantelle on the drive through counter.

I see Rachel wants to tax milkshakes too. That will be McDonald laying off milkshake machine operators next.
Let me see now, when did it start?
Oh.
Long before Reeves' changes
Must have been her fault, eh?

yes - that is what businesses are saying.
- the budget tax on business + new employment rights = bad for hiring.
The unemployment rate (the percentage of the economically active population who are unemployed) was 4.4%, up from 4.2% a year before.
643,000 young people aged 16 to 24 were unemployed in December to February 2025, 105,000 more than the year before. The unemployment rate for 16 to 24 year olds was 14.6%, an increase from 12.8% a year before.
"About the same"
But the graph you kindly provided shows otherwise.
The drop in vacancies did not occur as a result of the Chancellor's policies.
It started far earlier.
When there are fewer vacancies, more people looking for one will be disappointed.

That graph's crap so I went to the govvy site:
The graph is still bad, the scale doesn't match the data. You can move the point on the curve to a particular date. The very latest, where the highlighter is, is Feb 2025, but putting the cursor there obscures things.
That little hump suggests the number of vacancies has stopped falling in the last month or so.
There could be a lot of reasons for that.
There's no shortage of anecdotes about employers having the increased costs affect their recruitment. But they would say that wouldn't they.
I don't think it's reasonable to try to prove or disprove much from that. Too many other things changing.
(I keep bangin on about how the country should be using the markets to rake money in.
It's banks' reporting season. Fund 3BAL, which is European banks, is up 93% since April 4th. Dig into the numbers for HSBC and Deutsche Bank for example, and you find, you guessed it, a huge increase in their earnings from tradng. Couched in different terms.
3x gold in that time only went up 25%, and it has just dropped 16%. Rache should get herself some red braces.)

Oh I see you are looking at the covid years and pretending they are relevant.
So before we get into the detail. You dispute the budget and proposed employment rights reforms has led to job cuts and hiring freezes? Yes or no.

We all have different ideologies, and we will blame different factors to support our ideology of whatever indicators we choose.

Yes 100s of businesses must be wrong.

Another 100s of businesses will argue the opposite.
Some businesses are affected adversely by one set of economics while other businesses are affected providentially by the same economics.
But I bet none of those businesses affected providentially will assign their successes to the current economic policies.
"We're doing well, all thanks to the current economic policies of the current government".
I've never seen any claims like that from business.

Rayner's plans for workers' rights could force firms to slash jobs
A poll of HR directors by the British Retail Consortium found 52% will reduce staff numbers as a result of the incoming workers' rights bill.
Nobody seems to be saying it was a good idea. Apart from Angela Rayner.
No, I'm looking at the graph you provided, which doesn't show what you hoped it would.
