United Kingdom Unemployment Rate November 2025

up up and away

is rising but the underlying stats are the econically inactive coming back into the labour force and claiming benefit, so not lay offs. good for reducing inflation pressure, so not really bad news.

You're probably right, I'll take a look at the report when it comes out this time. Purely my own experience working in tech in the UK, 20% of my account was made redundant before Christmas.
