What’s the Economic and Labour Market Context for Q4?
It is clear that a whole range of factors (some global, some UK-specific) have contributed to a somewhat volatile and vulnerable economic context, which in turn has impacted the labour market.

RPI (no longer widely used by the Government) sits at 14.2%.
