CB is not CTC or UC. these have a hard 2 child claim limit for children born after 2017. You can only claim for more if all your kids were born before 2017. Ah, got you. Universal Credit: support for a maximum of 2 children: information for claimants Quote For example, if you’re already claiming Universal Credit, have responsibility for 2 children and you then give birth to a new child, you won’t get an additional amount of Universal Credit for that new child, unless special circumstances apply. So the limit is to have (present tense) responsibility for 2 children, not have had (past tense) responsibility for 2 children.

Universal Credit: support for a maximum of 2 children: information for claimants A grandparent adopting, or formally or informally caring for a grandchild can have responsibility for that child and therefore claim UC.

WSJ https://archive.is/4W99o#selection-2049.0-2049.72 BS. WSJ is just continuing the AI stawks bubble pump. The article mentions "4,600 job cuts" attributed to AI, but I imagine if you actually look below the surface there is little connection to actually AI tech, or the job roles were so tenuous that they shouldn't have been hired in the first place. No business would trust any real responsibility to current-gen AI right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellow Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Continues to get worse: KPMG and REC, UK Report on Jobs - April 2024 https://kpmg.com/uk/en/home/media/press-releases/2024/04/kpmg-and-rec-uk-report-on-jobs-april-2024.html Quote Key findings Further decline in recruitment activity signalled Slower increases in starting pay recorded Fastest rise in candidate availability for four months Data collected March 12-22 Summary The latest KPMG and REC, UK Report on Jobs survey, compiled by S&P Global, continued to signal falling levels of recruitment activity in March. Amid reports of hiring freezes and cost cutting at clients, recruitment consultants signalled another marked decline in permanent placements as well as the steepest contraction in temp billings since July 2020. Latest data signalled a fifth consecutive monthly decline in the demand for staff, with the rate of contraction only slightly slower than February's 37-month record. With demand falling, and evidence of a greater number of redundancies, overall candidate supply increased at the steepest pace for four months. This weighed on pay growth. Starting salaries rose at their slowest rate for over three years, whilst temporary wage inflation eased to a four-month low. The report is compiled by S&P Global from responses to questionnaires sent to a panel of around 400 UK recruitment and employment consultancies. Recruitment activity continues to decline in March Permanent staff appointments in the UK continued to fall in March, extending the current downturn to a year-and-a-half. An uncertain economic outlook and ongoing recruitment freezes were reported by recruiters as reasons for the latest decline. Budget constraints also reportedly weighed on temp billings during March, which fell to the steepest degree since July 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What evidence do you have about the labour market still being above averagely tight? Even if true, the trend is clearly down with many more redundancies baked in so it won't be tight for much longer. The report is based on a survey sent to 400 recruitment consultancies. You are overweighting the worth of this one report, whole or otherwise. House prices and job numbers do not have physical momentum. Trends are useful for interpreting historical data, but have little to no predictive value. As for evidence of tight labour market, holding rates at 5.25% is evidence enough for me. but is the latest ons data. I appreciate the statistics skeptism but not clear why you trust a kpmg survey more than ONS Edited April 8 by mynamehere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Real prices are what matters not real earnings......high prices and taxes make earnings not keeping up less even if rising.....a pay rise, still worse off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that shows vacancies are heading downwards fast so it will be interesting to see March's data when that comes in. There's also been a lot of redundancies announced which have yet to complete so I can only imagine this getting worse in the near future.
