Another bad omen.
PWC are being forced to make 600 UK redundancies instead of freezing of hiring due to a substantial drop in their attrition rate. Big 4 always have a high attrition rate, lot of people do a few years and then leave with a nice name on their CV and get an instant 30% pay rise.Comment

Absolutely how I read it. I think it's news that will go over the head of those who haven't worked for Big 4. The only reason vast majority work for them is the name on their CV. If they are struggling to land an exit then the market is in a far worst state than we are being lead to believe.
They are in the process of overhauling the data collection methodology and expect the new more reliable stats to debut in the spring.
I would have thought HMRC and DWP data combined would give a better picture of the job market than surveys of employers and employees but I’m sure the ONS know more about this than me.Comment

I'm planning to leave the UK next year, but from what I'm seeing markets aren't that superb in the rest of Europe either.Comment
