Britain's labor market cooled further in May as starting salaries for permanent staff rose at the weakest pace in over two years, according to a survey of recruiters that the Bank of England watches closely

REC's gauge of growth in starting salaries for permanent staff fell to its lowest level since April 2021, although it said this still represented "a historically sharp pace overall".
