The Japanese parent of Indeed and Glassdoor is to cut 1,300 roles across the two job sites amid a shift toward artificial intelligence, according to a memo seen by Reuters which detailed that the cuts are mostly in the U.S. and within the research and development, growth, and people and sustainability teams. Recruit Holdings did not provide a specific reason for the layoffs, but CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba said "AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employers."

The UK labour market is experiencing a significant slowdown, with the supply of available workers increasing at the fastest rate in nearly five years. According to analysis by KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), there has been a decline in permanent vacancies and reduced demand for employees. Consequently, wage growth in the private sector has slowed from 5.5% to 5.3%, marking the slowest pace in four months. Neil Carberry, chief executive of the REC, noted that companies are hesitant to hire due to "the scar tissue left by the spring tax hikes and fear of further business tax rises." Jon Holt, group chief executive and UK senior partner at KPMG, said the threat of rising employment costs is contributing to a "wait and see" approach among employers. Official jobs market figures show unemployment rose to a four-year high of 4.6% in the three months to April, up from 4.5% in the previous three months.

A divided Supreme Court has lifted a temporary lower-court ruling preventing the Trump administration from radically downsizing the Department of Education. The decision in New York v. McMahon, announced on Monday, green-lights the department’s reduction in force initiated in March as the original question of the layoffs’ legality works its way through the lower courts. The justices have lifted an order that had reinstated nearly 1,400 workers affected by mass layoffs at the department and blocked the administration from transferring key functions to other federal agencies. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon hailed the decision, adding: “Today, the Supreme Court again confirmed the obvious: the President of the United States, as the head of the Executive Branch, has the ultimate authority to make decisions about staffing levels, administrative organization, and day-to-day operations of federal agencies." In a dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and the court's two other liberal members called the decision "indefensible," adding: that it “hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out. The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naïve, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave.” The layoffs leave the department with only about 2,183 employees out of its previous approximately 4,133. Offices impacted include the Office for Civil Rights, the Institute of Education Services, and the Federal Student Aid office.

An IRS strategy to audit high-income taxpayers is facing significant challenges due to staffing and budget cuts initiated during the Trump administration. A TIGTA report has highlighted that while the IRS aimed to increase audits on high-income individuals, the reduction in funding from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 has limited enforcement resources. The IRS has lost about 26% of its workforce this year, which may hinder its ability to meet the goals set by the 2022 Treasury Directive. The report does not provide recommendations, or include responses from IRS officials.

New Scottish Government figures published as part of the Recorded Crime in Scotland, 2024-25 report have revealed that crime rates fell marginally across Scotland last year, with a total of almost 300,000 crimes recorded over the year. Justice Secretary Angela Constance said the figures "show that Scotland continues to be safe place to live with reported crime falling by more than half since 1991", particularly following "the flagship Scottish Crime and Justice Survey which also showed people feel safer in their communities". Ms Constance added that she is "concerned these figures also show a rise in reported sexual crimes. Multiple factors will lie behind this and our action to tackle sexual offending includes increasing confidence in the justice system so more victims come forward, improving support for victims and modernising the law on sexual offences."

Two of Facebook parent company Meta’s best known executives, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and former chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, are listed as witnesses in a scheduled eight-day non-jury trial starting tomorrow in Delaware centered on investor allegations of board mismanagement. Shareholders of Meta Platforms sued Zuckerberg and other current and former company leaders, claiming they continually violated a 2012 agreement between Facebook and the Federal Trade Commission to protect users' data. Zuckerberg is accused of operating Facebook as an illegal enterprise that allowed users' data to be harvested without their consent. Zuckerberg and the other defendants have dismissed the allegations in court filings as "extreme claims."

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced major reforms designed to simplify fundraising rules for listed companies, aiming to reduce costs and boost the City of London's global competitiveness. The most significant change is raising the threshold for requiring a prospectus from 20% to 75% of a company's existing share capital, effective from January. This move is expected to save businesses around £40m annually. However, the change has faced pushback from some industry groups, who fear it could reduce transparency and harm investor confidence. The FCA said that during consultations, some trade bodies had argued for the threshold to be raised to only 33% and voiced concern that "a higher threshold may result in information asymmetry between issuers and investors and create legal uncertainty, eroding the stability and reputation of UK markets." The reforms are part of broader efforts to revitalise the UK stock market and support economic growth.

Over half (57%) of some 300 U.S.-based chief financial officers and other senior executives reported tariffs are already squeezing gross margins, with about a quarter of respondents seeing margin declines above the 6%-10% range. In May and June, KPMG surveyed the execs, finding also that about one-third of the executives said they’ve already experienced a 16%-25% drop in foreign sales overall due to retaliatory tariffs. Additional price increases are expected in the next six months as companies revisit more contracts, Joe Lackner, a KPMG advisory partner in industrial manufacturing, commented. “Those things take a while to work out. The next supply agreement that the [original equipment manufacturer] has with its supply base is going to deal with tariff pass-throughs a little bit differently because now they’re a substantial burden." He also noted that only 14% of the companies are planning to reduce headcounts, and that companies are "investing in automation, rethinking supply chains, and prioritizing technology to protect margins and jobs - while preparing for longer-term shifts in cost structures, sourcing strategies, and global demand dynamics."
