Data on the UK labor market released on July 17, 2025, show a mixed picture: the Average Earnings Index (3m/y) indicates a modest wage rise of 5. 0%, slightly below the prior 5. 3% and a consensus estimate of 4. 9%. Far above the projected 17,900, the Claimant Count Change indicated a major increase of 33,100 in June 2025, suggesting a possible softening in the labor market. Although wage growth is still above historical norms, it has slowed from its peak; the surprise increase in jobless claims worries about the resilience of the UK's economy and might affect future monetary policy choices.
