Labour market changes in the UK
September 10, 2024
The number of paid employees in the UK fell by 6,000 between June and July 2024, but rose by 203,000 between July 2023 and July 2024. Early estimates for August 2024 show that the number of paid employees fell by 59,000 per month, but increased by 122,000 year-on-year to 30.3 million. The August 2024 data should be treated as a preliminary estimate, which is expected to be revised in the light of further information coming in next month.
