Any that don’t involve dark skinned people.

This is a very worrying trend:
https://www.theguardian.com/busines...ince-labour-came-to-power-are-among-under-25s
Actual volume of figures is slightly less alarming, but still…
Where I work I get the impression that there is a growing uncertainty over levels of grad recruitment for the coming years. Partly economic, partly AI-related.
Employer’s NI increases were a bit crazy IMO. I’d probably have preferred a slight increase in income tax for the greater good. Now there seems to be so much flip-flopping and limited economic strategy from Reeves et al. I worry that many restaurants, pubs etc won’t last post-Christmas. Coffee shops are booming as people have an inherent need to treat themselves but cannot afford meals out and rounds in pubs.
Anyone else have views on this?

Difficult to know without more info on what industries are affected and types of contract they are on. I would make an educated guess it is probably areas like hospitality and more casual contracts where it is easier to terminate employment and younger ages make up higher % of the workforce (fuelled as you say by NI and general economic downturn).
If you have to make cuts, younger people who are less likely to qualify for redudancy pay also comes into the equation.
Just speculation on my part though. If it transpires this is grads in longer term and higher skilled roles I would be more worried (not to downplay a worrying trend in general).

As someone who was made redundant twice before I was 25 then I'd suggest there is something in that.

Hard to tell if the numbers are mainly due to redundancies or due to roles not being actively recruited. The lack of job openings for grads and younger people generally certainly seems very apparent.
