Stride also stressed the need for any increases to take into account “affordability and the position of the economy”. Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride has insisted that the UK government remains committed to the triple lock.īut…. Regular pay (which excludes bonuses) grew by 7.8%, the same as last month – and the highest since comparable records began in 2001. That could be significant for millions of pensioners, as this earnings figure is used to set the rise in the state pension the following April. That lifted the jobless rate to 4.3% in the May-July quarter, up from 4.2% a month ago, and 3.8% in the previous quarter.Įmployment fell, due to a drop in full-time self-employed workers, pulling the employment rate down to 75.5% in May to July 2023, 0.5 percentage points lower than February to April 2023.īut there’s better news on pay this morning – total pay, including bonuses, rose by 8.5% per year in the May-July quarter, helped by one-off bonus payments to NHS and Civil Service workers this summer. The increase in unemployment was largely driven by people unemployed for up to 12 months. The latest labour market report, just released, shows that UK unemployment rose by 159,000 in the last quarter, taking the jobless total up to 1.464m. UK unemployment has risen, as more people lost their jobs over the summer. Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy. These results are most consistent with an expectations based view of the financial crisis in which both homebuyers and lenders were buying into increasing housing values and defaulted once prices dropped.07.28 BST Introduction: UK jobless rate hits 4.3%, but wage growth beats inflation We show that the relation between individual mortgage size and income growth during the housing boom was always strongly positive, also in line with previous periods (and independent of how income is measured). Compared to prior years, middle- and high-income borrowers (not the poor), as well as those with medium and high credit scores, made up a much larger share of delinquencies in the crisis relative to earlier years. This paper shows that the increase in mortgage originations was shared across the whole distribution of borrowers, and that middle- and high-income borrowers made up the majority of originations even at the peak of the boom. Earlier research suggests that distortions in the supply of mortgage credit, evidenced by a decoupling of credit flow from income growth, may have caused the rise in house prices and the subsequent housing market collapse. We provide new facts on the debt dynamics leading up to the financial crisis of 2007. Transportation Economics in the 21st Century.Training Program in Aging and Health Economics.
