Pay pressures in Britain's labor market cooled further in June, according to a survey of recruiters that could help ease some of the Bank of England's concerns about inflation pressure

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation and accountants KPMG said increases in starting salaries for permanent and temporary staff were the weakest since April 2021.

The monthly REC survey showed the availability of staff rose for the fourth month in a row to 57.6 from 55.6 in May, the steepest month-on-month increase since November 2009 excluding the coronavirus pandemic period. Claire Warnes, partner for skills and productivity at KPMG UK, said the sharp upturn in people looking for work reflected a drop in recruitment and increasing redundancies.Its monthly permanent placements index came in at 46.4 last month, picking up from the near two-and-half-year low of 43.8 in May but still below the 50.0 no change level.
