from jaguar land rover to amazon — as well as trade union leaders — are in parliament to discuss britain's newgh from rsm uk — i put it to him these numbers could all be good news for workers. the stand out number today was this big rise in pay growth. now some of that is due to those public sector pay deals that were made a few months ago. they're starting to take effect now, but pay growth in the private sector was also really strong. so like you said, that's really good news if you're a worker. but it does make things a bit trickierfor the bank of england because higher pay growth can lead to higher inflation. and i think it means we're not going to get a cut in interest rates on thursday. and that's the interesting implication here as well. and one would assume it's also not great if you're looking for a job because employers have had to raise salaries, so they'll be less willing to take on new staff if it's going to cost them more to do so. and that's why there's concern about the chancellor's plans for the jobs market. yeah. so we've got the employment data this morning as well. that was
