progress available in the market sector, with employment barely
staying in progress territory in September, at 50.8. This
contrasts with official employment information, which has
constantly proven month-to-month job progress practically three
occasions the pre-pandemic common, primarily pushed by
vital hiring within the care and schooling sectors - worth pressures eased in September, margin
pressures throughout the financial system stay - output
worth index, which tracks the share of companies

January 2021, now near its pre-pandemic common - regardless of a pointy decline within the enter worth index,
it stays solely barely under its FY24 common and
considerably larger than the pre-pandemic common

rebound in family spending in FY25. Nevertheless, with
early indicators exhibiting subdued demand, margin
pressures are more likely to persist by means of FY25
