Britain’s labour market deteriorated further as advertised job vacancies fell sharply in November 2025.
However, salaries rose in November, job search website Adzuna said on Monday, December 22, 2025, underscoring the dilemma facing the Bank of England (BoE).
Online job adverts fell by 15.2% in the 12 months to November – the biggest such drop so far in 2025 – and were down by 6.4% from October, the fifth such fall in a row.

Worries about possible further tax increases in her second budget in late November have also weighed on the jobs market, contributing to a rise in Britain’s unemployment rate to 5.1% in the three months to October, the highest since 2021.
But Adzuna said advertised salaries rose by 7.7% from a year earlier with big increases in IT and only two sectors showing a fall in pay, compared with 7.3% a month previously.
The BoE last week cut interest rates after a weakening of the economy but showed it remained worried about inflation.
