Comment | The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimated that the number of people on UK payrolls fell by 35,000 to 30.4 million between October and November. The number of vacancies also fell by 31,000 to 818,000 in the three months to November. Commenting, James Cockett, senior labour market economist for the CIPD said: “Employers face tough waters ahead with rising employment costs as a result of the Budget, compounded with a raft of changes in the Employment Rights Bill. “We can expect rising prices and job losses, as firms plan for the next financial year. We urge the UK government not to lose sight of smaller businesses in particular, who are likely to be disproportionately affected by the cumulative impact of these changes, and require more support, advice and guidance in implementing many of the proposals."

The research also found that many employers have poor perceptions of young people at work. Two-thirds (64%) said young people often lack important social skills in the workplace, while 71% think they don’t always know how to behave at work.
