Labour's Jobs Tax
Labour's decision to increase employer National Insurance contributions has been criticized as a "jobs tax" that hurts young people. According to local employers, this increase in cost will lead to fewer job opportunities for young individuals.
Businesses, including high-street pubs, family-run cafés, healthcare, logistics, and start-ups, have warned that the increased cost of hiring staff will result in fewer young people getting their first chance at work.
If a shop owner in Haslemere faces the same cost to hire a 23 year old with five years' experience as an 18 year old fresh out of college, it's obvious which way the decision will fall.
This has already led to small businesses cutting back on weekend shifts or stopping part-time hires, resulting in fewer local opportunities for young people and a loss of confidence, income, and independence.
