Surprisingly poor jobs data today.
Recent employment recovery appears to have stalled, with worklessness rising again; while real pay continues to fall as living costs rise.
What a way to enter a slowdown...
New PM needs to act quick on incomes and participation - thread below.

Hearing from the brilliant team @TheBaobabUK at @NPCthinks event about building trusting relationships with funders - Yoanna highlighting thinking about measuring impact (conversational, learning, accessible language, room for failure, not adding extra labour when gathering data)

These stats reinforce concerns that more needs to be done to create opportunities for youth in their EET journeys. Covid-19 has clearly undone much great work over recent years, but innovation and a centralised approach is needed to enable our leaders of tomorrow to prosper.
The implications of covid-19 on England's youth organisations - read our report now! 📊
Youth organisations and young people have been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis, and they need help.
