“I’m about to cancel all my Zoom meetings.” It was May 2021, and Jamie Dimon had had enough. The JPMorgan Chase CEO expected that “sometime in September, October,” the company’s office would “look just like it did before.” Two years later, his company is slashing its Manhattan footprint by a fifth.
Post-pandemic, kids are back in school, retirees are back on cruise ships, and physical stores are doing better than expected. But offices are struggling perhaps more than most casual observers realize, and the consequences for landlords, banks, municipal governments, and even individual portfolios will be far-reaching. In some cases, they will be catastrophic. But this crisis, like all crises, also represents an opportunity to reconsider many of our assumptions about work and cities.
During the first three months of 2023, U.S. office vacancy topped 20 percent for the first time in decades. In San Francisco, Dallas, and Houston, vacancy rates are as high as 25 percent. These figures understate the severity of the crisis because they only cover spaces that are no longer leased. Most office leases were signed before the pandemic and have yet to come up for renewal. Actual office use points to a further decrease in demand. Attendance in the 10 largest business districts is still below 50 percent of its pre-COVID level, as white-collar employees spend an estimated 28 percent of their workdays at home. (x)

Central Asian countries have always made a strong play for being the master of their own destinies. Policymakers in the region tout their ability to sit in the driver’s seat and navigate international relations through balancing everyone against each other. Yet last month’s high-level engagements with China and Russia have instead served to highlight Central Asia countries’ growing bonds with both powers and the shrinking room for maneuver they have in international relations.
A number of assumptions about the war in Ukraine have not played out as initially expected. Early on, it was assumed by some of the international financial institutions (such as the World Bank) that Central Asia would suffer from the invasion. Its intimate connection to Russia via the Eurasian Economic Union (of which Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are both members) and the fact that so many of its economic, social, and security ties are to Russia meant that many observers expected the region to encounter economic difficulties.
Questions were also raised about security relations. Traditionally, Moscow has been seen as the major external security provider to the region. In the run-up to the collapse of Kabul, it was Russia that rushed arms sales through, as well as undertook joint border training exercises. Similarly, when Kazakhstan was wracked with a violent internal power struggle in early 2022, it was Moscow that the government looked to, requesting a Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization operation to help provide security around key locations. The invasion of Ukraine seemed to presage greater Russian truculence in its immediate neighborhood.
Yet neither economic nor security doom has actually materialized. Money flows from Russia into the region have increased. More companies are moving to the region, as foreign and Russian entities and men seeking to escape the Kremlin’s mobilization drive and find an accommodating environment in Central Asia. The Russian government has also leaned heavily into its relationship with the region, with Russian President Vladimir Putin visiting all five countries and sending numerous high-level delegations to seek business links and opportunities. New schools, equipment, aid, and general rhetorical support have also flowed from Moscow.
The logic from Moscow’s perspective is multifaceted—Central Asia was perceived to be slipping out of the Russian orbit, something that preceded the invasion of Ukraine but had sharpened since February 2022. Russia is in some ways less concerned about Chinese inroads—something it has at this point rationalized as an inescapable reality—than about the region striking a more autonomous path away from Russia. It is also worth noting that Central Asia has served as a useful conduit for sanctions evasion for Moscow in the past.
Going the other way, the flow of Central Asians going to Russia has also increased. Already a well-trodden path, more Central Asians chose to go and work in Russia in the past year rather than less. Even usually Turkey-bound Turkmen are being drawn to the opportunities in Russia, with the Russian migration service recording 1,600 Turkmen seeking work permits in Russia in 2022, up from fewer than 20 in 2021—according to data we saw on a recent trip to Turkmenistan.
There has been a flow of Russians toward Central Asia as people flee the Kremlin’s policies, but this is balanced out in net migration flows by the volume of Central Asians who still see Russia as a lucrative place to work. No doubt the carnage on the battlefield in Ukraine has created lots of job vacancies.
This human connection has also tied itself to the war in Ukraine in a contradictory way. While fewer Central Asians have sought Russian citizenship according to official data, some residents of the region have chosen to align themselves with Moscow and several elected to fight on Russia’s side in Ukraine. Some are former convicts fighting alongside the paramilitary Wagner Group (at least 10 Tajiks are reported to have died doing so), while others may be joining out of a sense of patriotism toward Moscow.
In Kazakhstan’s north, the majority ethnic-Russian community has looked with scorn on the large numbers of Russians moving to Kazakhstan to flee the draft back home. Some are believed to have gone further and chosen to go and fight in Ukraine. And the region is increasingly being seen as a major conduit for trade to Russia as Moscow seeks to evade sanctions.
All this serves to explain the sometimes contradictory views from Central Asia about Russia and Ukraine. At a general public and official level, there is a clear expression of dislike toward the war (Kazakhstan’s president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and Tajikistan’s president, Emomali Rahmon, have made direct statements to Putin in public formats), but when looking at countries’ actions, support has been evident. The appearance of all five Central Asian leaders in Moscow for this year’s Victory Day parade was a clear expression of this.
The Central Asian countries have also sought to cultivate China as an alternative ally. This was most clearly on display in Xian, China, on May 18-19, when all five leaders met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at an event that sought to increase Chinese-Central Asian engagement.
Billion of dollars worth of new deals and trade agreements were announced during the summit and the bilateral engagements that took place on its fringes. And there was even some discussion of China starting to offer itself as a regional security provider. While this is not new—Beijing has long been a player in Central Asian security questions both through direct engagement as well as through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization—the announcements this time had a particular tone given the current conflict in Ukraine.
The invasion of Ukraine has thrown Beijing’s role in Central Asia newly into question, both in terms of Moscow’s bandwidth to play a security provider role in the region while Ukraine consumes its military, and fears about how Moscow’s revanchist eye might turn toward the region.
In Kazakhstan, this fear is acute given the ease with which one can look at the country through Moscow’s eyes and see a very similar history that could justify an incursion as Putin did in Ukraine. The nation shares a long border with Russia and has a large ethnically Russian population that often feels targeted by national policies seeking to advance the Kazakh language. Senior Russian figures (including Putin) have questioned the nation’s statehood. Back in September 2014, after he first pushed an incursion into Ukraine, Putin seemed to deny Kazakh statehood in a speech, saying that then-President Nursultan Nazarbayev had “created a state on a territory that never had a state.”
Consequently, when Xi visited Kazakhstan in September 2022, a lot of public noise was made about his declaration that China would support “Kazakhstan in safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Among more optimistic public commentators, this was seen as a clear message to defend Kazakhstan against potential Russian aggression.
In contrast, speaking to officials in Kazakhstan and the wider region, we found a far more sanguine picture. Most of them noted the similarity in what Xi said in Kazakhstan to what China had said about Ukraine before the Russian invasion (and even in the peace plan proposed by China), and China’s lack of action in stopping the conflict there. “We are on our own” was one particularly stark assessment we heard in Kazakhstan.
It is also not clear that China would step in to try to fix any of the regional problems that are on display. Beijing has maintained a high level of engagement with the Taliban, but this has remained narrowly focused on Chinese security concerns around Uyghur militants using Afghanistan as a base to foment trouble in China rather than an effort to stabilize the country.
All this highlights one of the toughest challenges facing Central Asia. The past year has found all five countries strengthening their links to both China and Russia. The ties to Beijing are an effort to balance against Moscow, but the reality is that this balancing act is not going to work very well given how close Russia and China are these days.
Buried toward the bottom of the joint statement that was put out after Xi and Putin met in Moscow earlier this year was a declaration: “The two sides are willing to strengthen cooperation, support Central Asian countries in safeguarding their national sovereignty, guarantee national development, and oppose external forces’ promotion of ‘color revolutions’ and interference in regional affairs.”
This highlights both the fact that China and Russia are eager to coordinate in Central Asia and that their basic aims in the region are the same. This complicates diplomacy for the Central Asian governments that have long sought to play the two countries off each other. And it is a perfect articulation of the shrinking geopolitical space that Central Asia increasingly finds itself within.
Entirely surrounded by powers in some level of conflict with the West, Central Asia finds its options are increasingly limited. This is not to say other options are not available—simultaneous to the Xian summit, Kazakhstan hosted a high-level economic forum with the European Union; the United States is a constant presence; and Turkey has made a great deal of noise about Turkic influence in the region over the past year via the Organization of Turkic States. But as the ties that bind China and Russia thicken, Central Asia will struggle to really balance against them.

My TEFL Journey In a nutshell
Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Almighty, in the 2nd last year (2021), I have passed the 198 hours Level 5 TEFL certification course (168 guided hours + Teaching English online 30 hours) from The TEFL Academy. For those, who might want to know, Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) involves teaching English abroad or online where English is not the primary language. TEFL educators can work for international and global schools, foreign companies, international organizations and associations, and internationally recognized universities, just to name a few. You can read more about my adventures in  Fahadventure.
Tumblr media
I have been thinking about doing this since 2018, just after my Graduation from the Institute of Business Administration, Dhaka University (IBA, DU), Bangladesh, but could not really focus much as I got involved in corporate culture, after joining an event management company, namely Asiatic Experiential Marketing Limited. Later on, in May,2019, I joined a locally reputed bank, BRAC Bank where I continued to work for two and a half years. In the meantime, the overall lockdown phases during 2020 and 2021 finally came as a blessing among all those office workloads, few trips and some personal hassles which motivated me once again to work from home and pursue my dreams. This certificate is just like a passport to travel the world while I'll start working on attaining the visa i.e jobs abroad once it reopens. For now, I am exploring the online possibilities to start with. Check out the vacancies for better exploration.
Tumblr media
Just after leaving the job of my previous organization, BRAC Bank, I got the opportunity to join a global platform within few months, named as "Native Camp" where my everyday work nowadays involves teaching and talking people online, mostly from China, Japan & Taiwan and I can't even explain how happy I am right now to have those sessions and exchange our thoughts with fun while doing so. I am also an avid learner and traveler with interest in knowing cultures and norms from all around the globe. I have worked for a very short time in this period with Lingua Roma, a global teaching company where I had to work with South Africans, Russians, French, Kenyans etc. Apart from that, while traveling in various parts of India and Thailand, I resided in the local hostels and houses to mingle with mixed races and know more about them. You can have a look at my teaching profile.
Being a TEFL tutor is a great way to build transferable skills, like communication, creativity, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership etc. It's been a tiring journey with lots of obstacles since I didn't know who to connect with for suggestions; specially anyone from my country. So, I had to look for international blogs, knock random people and gain idea on this. I would humbly request to expand my knowledge if anyone wants to know & explore this beautiful world together. I'll be writing other detailed posts about my journey and other tefl course online, tefl jobs in the coming days. For now, you can look the official website if it fits your budget. Please keep me in your prayers so that I can smoothly advance towards my dream journey, not just by sitting at a corner of the office. Thank you all. Soooo excited! ��

‘It's borderline criminal’ – Manufactured housing was an affordable homeownership option. Now, investor-owned parks are pricing residents out
At the end of the month, Edmund McGahey plans to load up his U-Haul with the American flag neatly rolled behind his front door, take his wind chimes down from his front porch, pack his eight potted Christmas cacti, and leave for Texas.
With an outstanding mortgage he has no choice but to hand the keys to his double-wide manufactured house within Great Brook Village over to his bank. He can’t sell it due to rising park rental fees.
McGahey, a 74-year-old Vietnam War veteran, envisioned the over-55 community as an affordable place to retire when bought the home in May of last year for $80,000.
Tumblr media
When he first looked at the property, the rent for the lot of land beneath the home was $528 per month. By the time his loan was approved and he moved in, it increased to $829. As of July 1, rent on the plot was up to $965, and when a prospective buyer looked into making an offer on the house, the property manager said the new monthly fee would soon grow to over $1,000.
McGahey’s moving in with his daughter for health reasons, but if he stayed put, he’s not sure how he’d pay his bills. After an out-of-state investor, Oakshire Capital, purchased the park in 2021, rent increases soon followed.
Great Brook Village is not an anomaly in these rising prices. Across the country, investors have purchased manufactured housing parks in wide swaths. Residents can be cash cows for park owners, as they own their houses but only rent the land their homes sit on.
With a $1,050 monthly mortgage, the rent practically doubles McGahey’s bills.
“Bottom line is I have to move, but I am caught between a rock and a hard spot,” he said. “My credit is going to be totally destroyed. It was a very hard decision to make, but I have to do what’s best for me.”
Other residents in the park have hired a lawyer to contest the rent increases. Median home sale prices in New Hampshire recently hit $500,000 and rental vacancy rates remain below 1 percent statewide. With this landscape, they fear they have nowhere else to go.
Meanwhile, McGahey said he has no choice but to walk away.
“He’s holding me hostage here because I cannot sell my house and I have to get out of here,” McGahey said. “I never thought I’d be in this kind of predicament where I’m just going to turn the house back over to the bank. I just can’t do it. The stress alone is enough to drive anybody crazy.”
‘Not a good situation’ When McGahey moved into his three-bedroom, two-bathroom double-wide home, he replaced the old carpets, put a fresh coat of paint on the walls and spruced up the landscaping. He hung a framed photo of him and his late wife, Ann, above a small table in the living room. In the drawer, McGahey saved bills and notices from the park. The latest notice from the property manager – Matt Dennehy, who did not return requests for comment in this story – warned that monthly fees were increasing to $965 beginning July 1. It still had the blue masking tape used to stick it to his door.
The trend of investor interest in these parks began in 2015, according to George McCarthy, the president and CEO of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a nonprofit that looks at trends nationwide. Since then, about 30 percent of manufactured housing sites across the country have changed hands to investors looking to turn a profit.
“Manufactured housing communities are considered to be the best-performing reach in the real estate investment trust sector,” he said. “So there’s been a lot of capital flowing in that direction, unfortunately for people who live in manufactured housing parks.”
In 2021, the 5.8-acre Great Brook Village was sold to Oakshire Capital for $4.2 million. Horvath and Tremblay, an investment real estate company based out of Massachusetts, arranged the sale.
Oakshire Capital manager Bradley Pereira did not reply to email and phone requests for comment.
McGahey didn’t realize his park was investor-owned when he purchased it. Meanwhile, longtime residents watched the sale happen, hopeful that a new owner would maintain the park as was.
Bob Denutte, 70, has lived in Great Brook Village for 14 years, a few doors down from McGahey. When he moved in, rent was a little over $300, he said. New rent for prospective buyers is now $1,195.
“He lied to everybody and tried to make him look good and said he would be a perfect owner and take care of everybody’s issues,” he said. “It was a scheme.”
Often manufactured houses are referred to interchangeably as “mobile homes.” To McCarthy, that’s a misnomer, because once a house is purchased it’s rarely moved. The cost of picking up the structure and delivering it somewhere else costs thousands of dollars.
If McGahey was staying in state, it would be unlikely his house would follow him if he left the park.
“I didn’t know anybody up here at all when I first moved in. They said it was a great place to live,” he said. “People are fantastic but everybody is up in arms about the rent increases. He’s destroying my life and getting away with it and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.”
‘Deaf ear’ When an investor purchases a park, the change in ownership can often lead to a downturn in services – from trash collection to lawn care.
That has been the case at Great Brook Village, as well. Residents were recently asked to pay an additional trash collection fee. Denutte has asked for branches to be trimmed near his home with no response. One recently fell through his roof and cost him more than $3,000 to repair.
For nearly 20 years, Bruce Buckingham, 68, has lived in the park, in a double-wide home with a deck.
Erosion on the property has caused his deck to drop and his driveway to collapse. He is in an ongoing dispute with the park owner over whose responsibility it is to fix, arguing that he does not own the land where these problems are present. Building permit records from 2019 indicate that the deck needs to be replaced.
“He’s turned a deaf ear on it, he just won’t hear of it,” he said.
Buckingham has written to the Attorney General’s office, state representatives, manufactured home associations and the congressional delegation about his issue. The unanimous response has been to get an attorney, which he previously did but could not afford to retain.
“It’s very frustrating for people like us on fixed incomes that can’t afford an attorney,” he said. “It’s not a good situation.”
Resident-owned alternatives Mike Cox’s house is no different than those at Great Brook Village. It’s a double-wide, three-bedroom, two-bathroom manufactured home in a neighboring park in Belmont, he purchased for just over $80,000.
Since 2005, Cox has seen a $20 increase in the rent on his lot, which currently sits at $370 a month – he lives in the Lakes Region Manufactured Housing Cooperative, a resident-owned community since 2000. Next year, the park mortgage will be paid off, shedding another expense for residents.
A movement has been afoot in New Hampshire where residents band together to buy and own the land as a cooperative, giving themselves control over decisions, like lot rent. They elect leaders to manage the park bylaws and have collective input on decisions.
When a park is for sale, as Great Brook Village was in 2021, residents are offered the first right of refusal to purchase it. At the time, they passed on the offer, fearing that the cost to maintain the park themselves would equate to $900 in rent.
At the time, Denutte said Pereira, the owner of Oakshire Capital, visited and reassured residents about the sale so they backed down.
“If they had known this was going to happen I’m sure they would have done it,” said Denutte. “I’m sure they would have made more of an effort to purchase it.”
Over the last four decades, the expansion of resident-owned communities has become a staple of affordable housing in the state and the most prolific solution to maintaining these communities, according to the Lincoln Institute’s McCarthy.
New Hampshire has led the nation in this trend, with the first cooperative established in Meredith in 1984. Nearly 150 exist across the state. In the Merrimack County area, out of a total 58 manufactured housing parks, 22 are resident-owned.
On average, resident-owned community rent is $400 a month, according to data self-reported by park boards. Rent increases in investor-owned communities can outpace cooperatives by 50 to 100 percent, according to surveys that McCarthy has reviewed.
To Cox, living in a resident-owned park provides protections that others don’t offer, especially for senior residents. Before any changes to the bylaws are made, the community requires a vote. The co-op has a management company that collects rent and oversees the park finances. And state laws also provide guidance.
“We have quite a few people in the park that are in their 80s. They only live on Social Security,” Cox said. “Now, if we were to do what this other place just did? What would we do to these people? We’d destroy them. That’s not our intention. We want people to have a place where they can have and call it their home.”
‘This is how they play the game’ McGahey walked gingerly from his front door to a recliner in his living room. He can no longer live alone – he suffers from AL amyloidosis, a rare disease linked to Agent Orange herbicides used in Vietnam – opting to move to Texas to be with his daughter.
In June, he listed his house for $120,000 and hoped to sell it by the end of the summer. At the beginning of July, he cut the price to $110,000. Currently, it’s listed for $80,000, which means he’ll lose money on the sale after the real estate agents take their fees.
If turnover in the park stalls, then home values depreciate, as well.
“No one wants to buy the property because they know what it is going to cost them to rent, people can’t move,” said McCarthy. “If you can’t ever liquidate that into available money, it’s not worth anything, right?”
This is exactly McGahey’s predicament. He had one prospective buyer but when they learned the amount of the lot rent, they backed out. He doesn’t blame them.
His neighbors are equally outraged.
“He’s holding everybody hostage who is trying to sell now because he knows they can’t. He knows nobody is going to move in here and pay $1,200 for rent,” said Denutte.
The October notice left at McGahey’s door included a phone number for mediation through the state’s Manufactured Housing Consumer Action Program.
New Hampshire state law requires that when an owner increases the rent by more than $15 a month, residents can request a private mediation with the owner if more than half of the park residents agree for the session to take place.
To McCarthy, it’s an innovative solution that centers on residents’ concerns. In other states, he’s seen policy focus more on rent stabilization, instead.
At Great Brook Village, though, it hasn’t worked. Residents have now pooled money to hire a lawyer – with asks of $600 each to meet the retainer of $35,000. They’ve also considered hosting fundraisers to help.
“What we’re trying to do is find some way of getting rent back down, where it is civilized and where people will be able to sell their homes if they want, so they can move,” said Denutte.
Buckingham has spent years researching this trend across the country, learning about a cruel cycle that now envelopes his property and life.
“We’re all retired and living on a fixed income so that’s what they do. They rule with fear and intimidation. They scare people. They say, if you don’t do this, we’re going to evict you,” he said. “This is how they play the game.”
McGahey plans to attend his final two Veterans Affairs appointments in New Hampshire before going to the bank and beginning the paperwork to hand his house over. After long conversations with his three children, they picked a date to help him pack up and leave his house behind.
“I’m holding my breath that maybe my real estate agent can find a buyer, but it’s it’s not going to happen,” he said. “I’m a realistic person.”

To Cox, living in a resident-owned park provides protections that others don’t offer, especially for senior residents. Before any changes to the bylaws are made, the community requires a vote. The co-op has a management company that collects rent and oversees the park finances. And state laws also provide guidance.
“We have quite a few people in the park that are in their 80s. They only live on Social Security,” Cox said. “Now, if we were to do what this other place just did? What would we do to these people? We’d destroy them. That’s not our intention. We want people to have a place where they can have and call it their home.”
‘This is how they play the game’
McGahey walked gingerly from his front door to a recliner in his living room. He can no longer live alone – he suffers from AL amyloidosis, a rare disease linked to Agent Orange herbicides used in Vietnam – opting to move to Texas to be with his daughter.
In June, he listed his house for $120,000 and hoped to sell it by the end of the summer. At the beginning of July, he cut the price to $110,000. Currently, it’s listed for $80,000, which means he’ll lose money on the sale after the real estate agents take their fees.
If turnover in the park stalls, then home values depreciate, as well.
“No one wants to buy the property because they know what it is going to cost them to rent, people can’t move,” said McCarthy. “If you can’t ever liquidate that into available money, it’s not worth anything, right?”
This is exactly McGahey’s predicament. He had one prospective buyer but when they learned the amount of the lot rent, they backed out. He doesn’t blame them.
His neighbors are equally outraged.
“He’s holding everybody hostage who is trying to sell now because he knows they can’t. He knows nobody is going to move in here and pay $1,200 for rent,” said Denutte.
The October notice left at McGahey’s door included a phone number for mediation through the state’s Manufactured Housing Consumer Action Program.
New Hampshire state law requires that when an owner increases the rent by more than $15 a month, residents can request a private mediation with the owner if more than half of the park residents agree for the session to take place.
To McCarthy, it’s an innovative solution that centers on residents’ concerns. In other states, he’s seen policy focus more on rent stabilization, instead.
At Great Brook Village, though, it hasn’t worked. Residents have now pooled money to hire a lawyer – with asks of $600 each to meet the retainer of $35,000. They’ve also considered hosting fundraisers to help.
“What we’re trying to do is find some way of getting rent back down, where it is civilized and where people will be able to sell their homes if they want, so they can move,” said Denutte.
Buckingham has spent years researching this trend across the country, learning about a cruel cycle that now envelopes his property and life.
“We’re all retired and living on a fixed income so that’s what they do. They rule with fear and intimidation. They scare people. They say, if you don’t do this, we’re going to evict you,” he said. “This is how they play the game.”
McGahey plans to attend his final two Veterans Affairs appointments in New Hampshire before going to the bank and beginning the paperwork to hand his house over. After long conversations with his three children, they picked a date to help him pack up and leave his house behind.
“I’m holding my breath that maybe my real estate agent can find a buyer, but it’s it’s not going to happen,” he said. “I’m a realistic person.”

[ad_1] The latest interest rate cut provided hope for some commercial property owners on the brink of distress. But for others, it’s too late. At the Oct. 1 foreclosure sale in Houston’s Harris County, at least seven properties with mortgages totalling $260 million are set to be auctioned, according to Roddy’s Foreclosure Listing Service. The situation has been particularly dire for owners of older office space. Midway through this year, Houston’s office vacancy rate was 26.3 percent, according to a recent report from Partners Real Estate. That’s a jump from 24.7 percent a year before. Here’s a list of the biggest commercial properties facing foreclosure in Harris County next month. It’s possible that some of these borrowers and lenders reach agreements to avoid foreclosure before Oct. 1. OfficeOne RiverwayOne Riverway is a 25-story office building in Houston, just west of the Buffalo Bayou. Owner Beverly Hills-based Unilev Capital defaulted on an $80 million mortgage that German American Capital Corporation originated in 2015, according to the foreclosure notice. The 500,000-square-foot building was built in 1978 and renovated in 2020.  2900 WeslayanLender Frost Bank claims Houston-based Griffin Partners defaulted on a $19.35 million loan it provided in 2020 for the purchase of 2900 Weslayan.

The property is located just south of River Oaks in Houston. 2401 Fountain View DriveIn 2020, Finial Group borrowed $17 million ($95.50 per square foot) to purchase a 178,000-square-foot office building located at 2401 Fountain View Drive in west Houston.

Interest rates tipped to be held as jobs market weakens
Getty Images
By Michael Race & Dharshini David
BBC News
Signs that the UK’s job market is slowing down have reaffirmed predictions that interest rates will be left unchanged again in November.
The unemployment rate was 4.2% between June and August, up from 4% in the March-to-May quarter, but unchanged from last month’s data.
Businesses appear to be hiring less as the impact of rising prices and higher interest rates starts to bite.
UK economic growth has also proved sluggish in recent months.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said August’s jobs figures had been calculated slightly differently than usual, in an attempt to make the data as reflective of the world of work as possible.
Balancing act
The Bank of England, which sets UK rates, will decide next week whether they should be increased, decreased, or kept on hold again at 5.25%.
The benchmark rate was left unchanged at its last meeting in September, ending a cycle of 14 consecutive rises. At the time the Bank’s governor, Andrew Bailey, said there were “increasing signs” that higher rates were starting to hurt the economy.
The Bank first started to raise rates in December 2021 in an attempt to control soaring consumer price rises.
But it is a balancing act – if rates go up too quickly, consumers and businesses may spend and invest less which tends to drag on the economy.
The impact of changes to interest rates, via higher debt repayments, also takes about a year to filter through to employers’ plans.
This month, one member of the Bank of England’s interest rate panel told the BBC that the bulk of the impact of the increase in interest rates was yet to hit the economy, adding younger and lower paid workers could be hit the hardest.
Official figures showed the UK returned to growth in August, following a sharp fall in July, however, economists have warned the economy was “only just grinding forward” and predicted that the Bank of England would opt to leave rates on hold again in November.
Ashley Webb, UK economist at forecaster Capital Economics, said Tuesday’s weak jobs numbers made that outcome even more likely.
“The Bank will probably continue to believe that interest rates are gradually doing their job and, in our view, it is unlikely to raise interest rates again,” he said.
Gabriella Dickens, senior UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the figures “added to the evidence” that rates would be held, while Thomas Pugh, at consultancy RSM UK, said the Bank would probably wait “to see wage growth and inflation return to more normal levels, rather than resuming rate hikes”.
High rates hurting low paid, says Bank member
Wages overtake prices for first time in two years
The UK is not currently in a recession but there have been concerns over weak growth, with the economy set to be a key battleground in the General Election, which is widely expected to be next year.
On Tuesday, a closely-watched economic survey indicated that output from private sector companies had fallen for a third consecutive month.
That prompted forecasters at Capital Economics to suggest “a mild recession is under way and that the Bank of England has finished hiking interest rates”.
Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown, said there was “no clear overall shift in job losses just yet” but the UK needed to prepare “for more difficult times ahead”.
“This isn’t the agony of a collapsing jobs market: it’s the chronic malaise of an economy growing gradually weaker,” she said.
“With employment falling slightly, unemployment rising, economic inactivity up and vacancies dropping again, optimism is ebbing slowly away.”
The ONS estimated employment in the UK – which is the proportion of people in paid work – slightly decreased to 75.7% between June and August. It added that the economic activity rate, which measures people not actively looking for work, or available to start a job, had also edged up to 20.9%.
Neil Carberry, chief executive of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation, said unemployment remained low by historic standards and that the jobs market had been “normalising after the post-pandemic boom”.
“While vacancies are dropping, they remain above their levels of 2019,” he added. “But sector demand is varying widely and workers are facing having to make more transitions to new areas to find new roles. This transition is a primary driver of rising unemployment.”
Mel Stride, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said growing the economy was a “priority” and that the government was “bringing in the next generation of welfare reforms to drive down inactivity and help more people into work”.
He said there were now “more than one million more people on company payrolls compared to 2019, a near record high, and today’s statistics also show inactivity has fallen by over a quarter of a million since the pandemic peak”.
But Liz Kendall, Labour’s shadow work and pensions secretary, said the statistics confirmed “once again that the Tories’ dismal mismanagement of our economy is failing Britain”.
What happens if I miss a mortgage payment?
If you miss two or more months’ repayments you are officially in arrears
Your lender must then treat you fairly by considering any requests about changing how you pay, such as lower repayments for a short time
They might also allow you to extend the term of the mortgage or let you pay just the interest for a certain period
However, any arrangement will be reflected on your credit file, which could affect your ability to borrow money in the future

Vibe check
WE GOT THE STUDIO CITY APARTMENT!! My #1!!
Yesterday was so stressful. I got approved for a Sherman Oaks condo that was beyond my budget, and then upon approval they added a fat pet deposit and monthly pet rent. I didn't think I'd get approved for that place based on my income, so I didn't tour the entire property--which boasted a pool, fitness center, parking and onsite laundry. So I hesitated to sign the lease. Don't get me wrong - it was massive compared to most places I'd toured, and it had a tiny backyard with fake grass! But it was really pushing my limit financially.
Tumblr media
I was hemming and hawing (is that the right usage?) about this Sherman Oaks property and google mapping it and booking the movers and WORKING and asking my sister for buffer -- and then I got a text from my #1 asking for another bank statement and to nudge my rental history contacts. Could it be? Did they pick ME? I had to jump through a few more red tapey hoops but WE GOT IT.
Note: This was not the first time we (I say we, but I mean ME and Desmond) toured that exact building. It was on our list at the end of 2021 but we were wary about cats + carpet. I didn't even find the spot through Zillow or any of my apps - I had booked a tour for one of their K-Town vacancies and then changed my mind, which linked me to this sweet penthouse 1bdr.
True, we are downsizing. From a 2 bd to a 1 bd - but I like co-sleeping with Des. Even if he wants to live with me "until he's 100."
More than anything, it's about how I felt when I walked into the space: This is it. This could be home. I felt that way at Normandie, I initially felt that way here, on New Years Eve in the pouring rain in 2021.
The irony: The downstairs neighbors are moving out, too. They bought a house in Lake Balboa. I am sad they will never get to experience normal walking (I tiptoe!!!) or like, an excited dog who lives above them. We are all escaping.
I keep looking at the photos on Redfin like ooooh we're gonna live there! We get our own washer/dryer. I'm happy. I'm packing.

After a series of historic interest rate hikes, economists are left wondering whether job losses are next. High interest rates cause businesses and consumers to pull back on spending. As business slows, companies review their staffing levels and unemployment tends to climb.
However, up until now, the Canadian labour market has remained strong. In December, the unemployment rate was five per cent, just above the all-time low of 4.9 per cent reached in the summer.
In its latest monetary policy report, the Bank of Canada said it expects the full effects of rate hikes on the labour market to play out over a longer period. The comment came as the central bank raised its key interest rate for the eighth consecutive time. It said it was taking a conditional pause, keeping the door open to further rate hikes if inflation isn't tamed.
Labour groups have voiced concerns about the Bank of Canada's rate hikes in recent months, with Unifor president Lana Payne previously accusing the central bank of waging war on the working class.
Jim Stanford, an economist and the director of the Centre for Future Work, is concerned higher interest rates will slow the economy more than the central bank is anticipating.
Stanford said 40 years ago, that was the case when the Bank of Canada fought off runaway inflation with rapid interest rate hikes. In either case, he said it will mean "higher unemployment and reduced life chances for people who are trying to find a way and in a labour market."
But some economists are cautiously optimistic that employment may prove to be somewhat resilient to the slowdown, given that unemployment is currently near historical lows.
Job vacancies reached record highs last year, with over one million jobs unfilled in the economy. Since then, the number of unfilled positions has fallen to around 850,000 vacancies in November.
On Thursday, Statistics Canada reported the number of job vacancies fell by 2.4 per cent in November to their lowest level since August 2021. The Bank of Canada is also hopeful it can rebalance the economy and restore low inflation without trriggering massive job losses.
In a research paper published in the fall, Bank of Canada researchers estimated in their base case scenario that restoring normal job vacancy levels would push up the unemployment rate to a peak of 6.7 per cent.
As the economy cools, BMO's forecast suggests Canada's unemployment rate will average six per cent this year. And while that does suggest more Canadians will be unemployed, Kaushik said a six per cent unemployment rate is "still fairly low."
Unemployment fell significantly during the 2008 global financial crisis. According to Statistics Canada, the unemployment rate rose from 6.3 per cent to 8.6 per cent between October 2008 and October 2009.
