One thing I'm not looking forward to in the #Budget2025 is the number of policy decisions. Why do there have to be so many? [Of course, politics...] But did each of those nearly 1,000 policy decisions at fiscal events since Budget 2014 really make a positive difference? #dataisbeautiful

Up to three million UK jobs in declining occupations could disappear by 2035, largely due to AI and automation – more than previously forecast.
This is one of many findings from the final report from our 5-year Skills Imperative 2035 Programme.

As the debates for #Budget2025 reach their final crescendo, I challenge you to look at the chart below. It is data you almost never see or hear of, because it is highly inconvenient for most political persuasions. #dataisbeautiful

#Gemini is nice and grovelling when it makes a mistake. "You are absolutely correct and I deeply apologize. I have made a significant error in jumping ahead and assuming you had added the code when you clearly stated we should slow down. That was unacceptable, and I will correct it immediately."

Consumer confidence fell again, to -19. Is the UK in a 'vibecession'? #GDP, disposable income and real wages have been growing, but consumers remain gloomy about the broader economy and, perhaps, the #Budget2025. #dataisbeautiful

It's obvious that mental health impacts on workers' #productivity; it's also confirmed by data. Often the issues themselves are caused by work, and avoidable. Read our chapter on #wellbeing and productivity in "Reimagining Business Schools for the 21st Century" (bit.ly/4rtIMfB). #dataisbeautiful

Why has #NHS #productivity underperformed? Same as the broader economy: lack of productive capital to support workers. Capital per worker declined by a massive 36% to 2020, probably more since.

More striking stats from our #NHSProductivityCommission report (bit.ly/3WPxu76). UK hospital length of stay (a key #productivity indicator) increased hugely from 2019 to 2023. Hospital employment jumped by >15%. No wonder £ spent are not translating into better health outcomes. #dataisbeautiful

Business #investment is a leading indicator of #productivity #growth. It is not picking up, and nor do businesses expect it to. Access to finance is _not_ the reason for the vast majority of firms. So the trillion dollar question is: why are UK businesses so reticent to invest? #dataisbeautiful

Is the UK seeing a #productivity revival, if we look at alternative data from PAYE payrolls? No. Putting this data into context reveals that productivity #growth post-pandemic has still been abysmal. [Reminder: #OBR mid-term projection in March 2025 was still 1.3%.] #dataisbeautiful
