Next boss warns of 'dramatic' fall in entry-level jobs
Next's CEO Lord Wolfson has warned of a dramatic decline in UK entry-level job opportunities, pointing to a doubling of applicants per shop role as evidence of a growing youth unemployment crisis. He criticized upcoming employment law changes, employer National Insurance hikes, and minimum wage increases for hindering hiring, while the UK government defends its policies—including a £2.5bn youth support package—and the Trades Union Congress backs the new regular-hours contract rules as providing security for workers.
