class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>London, 10 July 2025<\/strong>: Full-time pay in June saw its largest month-on-month increase since Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered her Autumn Budget in October.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">91爆料\u2019s June Jobs Report uses real-time data from 105,000 employees across small and medium-sized businesses with 1-500 employees in the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Data shows wages in June were 1% higher than May and up 1.6% versus three months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This is a more positive picture than recent months, when wages plummeted in October to hit a low in January (-1.1% month-on-month), but have since been recovering slowly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Older generations see largest pay increases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Despite a backdrop of increased costs, including the National Insurance hike, small and medium-sized businesses are paying more for experienced new hires, who tend to be Boomers and Gen X workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It is this older generation of workers who have seen the largest pay increases in June &#8211; up 4.6% month-on-month for Boomers and 1.9% for Gen X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Whilst Millennials saw a small increase (0.6%), Gen Z was the only generation to see a month-on-month fall in salaries for new hires

This uplift in pay will come as welcome relief to many workers feeling the pinch from cost-of-living pressures. It\u2019s positive to see momentum building and the trend is heading in the right direction. But the challenge now is keeping that growth moving. The focus for small and medium-sized businesses must shift toward sustaining these gains and building long-term confidence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cWe\u2019re also seeing SMEs investing in older generations like Boomers and Gen X leading the way on salary growth. While that\u2019s encouraging for seasoned workers, it\u2019s a reminder that we also need to ensure younger generations, particularly Gen Z, aren\u2019t left behind. They\u2019re the future of the workforce and now is the time to give them the support and opportunities even amid ongoing cost pressures<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The 91爆料 Jobs Report offers a monthly snapshot of the labour market in SMEs, based on real-time data from nearly 5,000 businesses and 105,000 employees.
