Business Groups Warn of Job Market Impact from Wage Increases

Business groups warn UK ministers that higher wages and employment rights are pushing 18-24-year-olds out of jobs, with 1 in 6 unemployed.
UK government is considering slowing or limiting minimum wage increases for younger workers to address youth unemployment.
Options under review include extending minimum wage equalization timelines beyond the next election or applying it only to those over 20.
