CBI responds to December 2022 labour market statistics

Matthew Percival, CBI Programme Director, Skills & Inclusion, said:

“The first signs of over-50s returning to work will be hugely welcomed by businesses looking to hire.

“Despite this, the labour market remains very tight. Business and government need to pull every lever to ease shortages, including helping more people to overcome the barriers like the cost of childcare and ill-health that are preventing them from working, investing in technology and new ways of working to boost productivity, and investing in skills.”
