As Labor Day celebrations highlight the contributions of workers in the U.S., experts warn that President Trump's immigration policies are significantly affecting the labor force. According to preliminary Census Bureau data analyzed by the Pew Research Center, over 1.2m immigrants have left the labor market from January to July 2025. Immigrants constitute nearly 20% of the U.S. workforce, with 45% of agricultural workers being immigrants. Pew senior researcher Stephanie Kramer noted: “The influx across the border from what we can tell is essentially stopped,” impacting job creation. The construction sector has also seen job losses, with many contractors unable to find qualified workers due to immigration enforcement. The potential repercussions extend to healthcare, where immigrants make up about 43% of home health aides.

The Employment Rights Bill could significantly impact small businesses, according to HR consultants. The Bill aims to enhance workers' rights, including extending unfair dismissal rights and tightening zero-hours contract regulations. Government analysis estimates the measures could add £5bn to employer costs, with additional amendments potentially increasing expenses by £80m annually. Phil Coxon, CEO of Breathe HR, said: "British businesses face a perfect storm," highlighting that the Bill "brings administrative, legal, and financial changes which will be challenging to implement." The British Retail Consortium has warned that over half of retailers may cut staff in response to the Bill. Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves faces mounting criticism as small business job vacancies fell 18% following her national insurance hike. The Federation of Small Business claims members “don’t feel the government has their backs,” while Lib Dems urge scrapping the “jobs tax.” ONS data shows 46,000 fewer vacancies at small firms since the 2024 Autumn Budget, part of a £25bn revenue plan for public spending. Critics argue the tax contradicts Reeves' growth goals.

As the school year begins in Washington, DC, parents and students face heightened anxiety due to a federal law enforcement surge and immigration crackdown. Many parents, particularly from minority backgrounds, are taking extra precautions, such as escorting their children to school and carrying identification. One mother expressed her fear, commenting: “It’s hard... it’s a risk to go and protect my daughter and her classmates, but it’s also necessary to protect them.” Schools are implementing creative safety protocols, including advising staff to carry passports and establishing procedures for potential ICE visits. Jeannine Piacenza, executive director of CommuniKids, noted that parents are now asking about the school’s ICE policy, a stark contrast to typical inquiries. The atmosphere has become increasingly stressful for families, with many feeling the need to alter their behavior to avoid drawing attention.

As Congress reconvenes after its August recess, it faces a critical deadline to fund the IRS before the September 30th government shutdown. Lawmakers are under pressure to finalize government-wide funding, with House Republicans pushing for significant cuts to the IRS budget. Meanwhile, Democrats are resisting further reductions, citing the agency's recent leadership challenges and layoffs. The situation is tense, with one lawmaker noted "Even a stopgap measure that leaves long-term funding..." is not a viable solution.

Lord Pentland, Scotland's Lord President, has warned that appointing judges to chair public inquiries significantly strains court resources. In a letter to MSPs, he highlighted that ongoing inquiries have cost £240m and noted that judges chairing these inquiries lead to a loss of nearly 10% of sitting days in High Court and Court of Session cases. He stated: "Appointing a judge to a public inquiry therefore has a disproportionate impact on an already overstretched resource." The number of pending trials is expected to double this year compared to 2019-20, exacerbating the pressure on the judiciary.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent voiced confidence that the Supreme Court will uphold former President Trump's use of the 1977 IEEPA law to justify tariffs aimed at correcting trade deficits and halting fentanyl imports. A recent 7–4 appeals court ruling deemed most Trump-era tariffs illegal but allowed them to stand temporarily. Bessent stated: “I’m confident the Supreme Court will uphold... the president’s authority to use IEEPA.” He emphasized the fentanyl crisis and ballooning trade deficits as valid emergencies. As a backup, he cited the Smoot-Hawley Act's Section 338.

UK Government long-term borrowing costs have hit the highest level since 1998, with the interest rate on 30-year government bonds rising to 5.723%. Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said concerns over inflation and interest rates, alongside global issues, are pushing UK Government borrowing costs up. Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said that Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been "dealt a warning" by investors who are selling off Government debt, "clearly concerned that the Government may be losing its grip on the public finances." With the Chancellor expected to increase taxes in the Budget, Ms Streeter said: "The worry isn't just that Government coffers won't be replenished, but that they will be filled at the expense of growth, leading to a vicious circle emerging." Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid warned of a "slow-moving vicious circle" where concerns over rising debt push yields higher, "worsening debt dynamics, which in turn push yields higher again."

Data from Crist Kolder Associates' summer 2025 Volatility Report, gleaned from 667 Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies, suggests that there has been a dramatic swing of late toward internal promotions for chief financial officers, with external hiring down almost 50%. Through July 31st, 28% of CFOs were hired externally down 47% last year. Additionally, the company's analysis indicates an uptick in the pipeline of CFOs moving into chief executive roles at Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies. In the first half of the year, 7.5% of sitting CEOs came directly from a CFO chair, up from 6.5% in 2015. “The most successful CFOs that we talk to now have an ultimate goal of reaching the CEO chair, where it used to be that the ultimate goal was to become CFO,” said Crist Kolder managing director Kirby Perkins. “It’s no longer viewed as a ceiling.”
