Well yeah, you increase the operating costs of businesses and they stop hiring when their profit margins are slim. Large businesses can much easily absorb it while small independent businesses cut costs to survive, it’s not hard to see that this would happen and was also pointed out before this was implemented.
As someone who works in hospitality all I have to say is “good”
There’s an argument that we would be seeing this without those tax changes, this was a trend in hospitality since before COVID.
People only have so much disposable income, less and less these days so if you’re in hospitality your enemy isn’t tax as much as it’s the insane competition being made by online spending, giant supermarkets and stagnant wages.
It’s not like it’s going any different soon so investing in that market looks like a big risk.
A man on the radio was saying how he had to get rid of 7 staff members, but his employer national insurance contributions would still be the same due to the increase. That’s not the way to grow an economy!
Well our boss said that right after it was announced: “uk is service based economy, labour is the main expense, as soon as you increas price of labour – you hit the business hard: expect inflation, job losses and wage freeze”. Well for my company all of that happened despite being in the relatively “safe zone”.
When a industry relies on poverty wages , i find it hard to sympathise with them
Not surprised. The industry relies on paying people the legal minimum. I don’t think we should have so many of these jobs anyway.
Labour have destroyed the economy and jobs market worse than truss
Anyone who expected Labour to do anything other than tax, borrow and spend wastefully got mugged off.
What we needed was reform and to create a sustainable financial trajectory for an aging population.
What were getting is a doom loop.
Once interest on the government debt becomes high enough things will really kick into gear.
The crisis is coming.
Lack of disposable income is the biggest problem for hospitality. A coffee shop visits used to be a weekly thing, 5 years ago. My younger colleagues at work used to eat out 3x a week for lunch, now they bring food in, and treat themselves at payday. For me it’s maybe every 1-2 month, as I need to fork out more then £15 for a drink, light lunch. I went past a cafe and they wanted £22 for pancakes with bacon. I took two people for very basic curry and that set me back the cost of a weekend festival. I would love to eat out more but just can’t afford it.
Nothing to do with Vlad and his orange fucktoy completely dismantling and destabilising the international order.
Nothing to do with big energy companies laughing all the way to the bank on the back of this.
Nothing to do with climate change and environmental damage literally making luxuries harder to grow.
Nothing to do with underbuilding housing while stoking demand.
Nothing to do with none of the profits from any of this trickling down to the people who might use these service.
Oh no, it’s all Reeves’ fault using the limited tools available to her.
Nobody ever seems to mention the health benefit of having less alcohol abuse.
The middle income earners have no money to spend. When your pay is the equivalent of £5k-£10k a year less than it was a decade ago and the price of a pint has doubled it is no surprise that job losses are happening. I think most employers have used the NI increase as a convenient reason to reduce staff numbers without incurring lots of negative headlines.
