The slowdown comes despite official figures showing the economy returned to modest growth in May, reinforcing concerns that the UK's recovery remains fragile.For millions of Britons, the slowdown is more than an economic indicator. A weaker services sector can mean slower hiring, reduced business investment, weaker wage growth and more cautious consumer spending.Because industries such as hospitality, retail, finance, transport and professional services make up the majority of UK employment and economic output, any sustained downturn could have widespread consequences.Why Britain's Services Sector Is SlowingRecent business surveys suggest activity across the services sector has weakened because of falling demand, rising operating costs and continued economic uncertainty.According to the latest S&P Global/CIPS PMI, business activity contracted at its fastest rate since January 2023 as firms reported weaker domestic demand, softer export...

New postings (job postings on Indeed for 7 days or fewer) tell a similar story and have averaged exactly 100.0 in the first half of 2026. Direction of travel:...
