The latest unemployment figures from the Office for National Statistics show that the jobless rate has risen to its highest level since the pandemic in 2021 - but analysts also say the jobs market is stabilising after a year of volatility. Meanwhile, wage growth in the UK cooled slightly over the summer, from 4.8 per cent to 4.7 per cent. Does this mean that getting a job is becoming harder? And how do these statistics play out in the capital? Joe Evans, a researcher at the Institute for Public Policy Research think tank, is here to help us unpack the figures.
And in part two, The Standard’s Commissioning Editor and Culture Writer Vicky Jessop joins us to review Guillermo del Toro’s new Frankenstein film, which is in cinemas from October and on Netflix from November 7.
