Scariest chart I've seen in a long time. If this is real, UK graduate vacancies have fallen 70% relative to 2017 and are as low as at the bottom of the pandemic. Data is from job matching platform Adzuna.

Some prices matter much more than others for livelihoods, production and distribution. They are systemically significant and key in the fight for affordability and against inflation.
