>Labour market statistics have shown that Scotland’s GDP grew by 0.3% in May 2024, and by 0.9% in the three months leading up to May.
>The figures, published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), show that from April to June, the estimated unemployment rate in Scotland for people aged 16 and older was 4.4%.
>The employment rate was 73.4% and the inactivity rate was estimated to be at 23.1%.
>The Scottish Government said that the latest figures represent the highest number of payrolled employees in Scotland since July 2014.
>The median monthly pay was estimated by HM Revenue and Customs to be £2,427 in July 2024; the highest recorded yet.
Lots of work, mostly shite pay though
Lots of work around, especially in places like Edinburgh and Glasgow. However these jobs usually pay shit compared to the living costs of the city.
