Young people hit hard as UK unemployment marches upwards Open in Theguardian.com
Highlights
  • UK unemployment rose again as youth job losses surged, with 18–24-year-olds out of work at 546,000—the highest since 2015.
  • Policy debate may shift toward youth employment support, with Labour proposing to equalise the minimum wage for younger workers with the adult rate.
  • Pay growth cooled to 4.6% on the main ONS measure, suggesting room for near-term easing if inflation stays tame, amid rising youth benefit reliance.
