There was another fall in unemployment in the latest quarter (January-March 2022),with the unemployment rate falling to its lowest level since 1974. Although the fall in unemployment in this quarter corresponded to a rise in employment, there was also a rise in economic inactivity. Employment levels remain almost 450,000 below their pre-pandemic levels, with over 350,000 people becoming inactive.
The number of vacancies increased to a new record high, and for the first time since records began there are more job vacancies than unemployed people.
The current high rate of inflation led to a continued drop in real terms regular pay (excluding earnings). Real terms pay including bonuses grew, suggesting that many employers were reacting to high inflation by increasing bonuses rather than regular pay.
