Welcome to the October/November 2024 Economic Bulletin.
In our monthly feature we look at the current state of the labour market, how it has changed since 2022, and how it compares to the experience of the 2008-09 recession. This provides some indications of what may lie ahead for workers over the next couple of years. It also highlights the need for active government intervention to help people stay connected to work and support the growth of good jobs.
In our main data updates, we breakdown how wages have been doing, current employment and labour market participation levels, social welfare numbers, consumer inflation, and household living costs inflation. We also provide our regular monthly updates on prices, migration, trade, and consumer and business confidence. Finally, we summarise the latest Crown accounts.
For breakdowns of the latest GDP and balance of payments data, please see the August/September
Bulletin.
