☆ Hot UK labour market raises pressure on BoE to act again
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Andy Bruce | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Employment and wage growth soared during the three months to April while the unemployment rate fell, according to the Office for National Statistics. Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, when wage statistics were skewed by furlough schemes, it was the highest reading on record. Including bonuses, wage growth jumped to 6.5% from 6.1% previously, but it still lagged inflation, meaning Britons are suffering declining pay in real terms. "With the possibility of higher-for-longer rates, a UK recession looks unavoidable as tight monetary policy filters into the real economy - including the housing market," Medhi said. BoE officials are likely to note that the headline employment and wages data came in above all forecasts, while the unemployment rate was below all forecasts.

Microsoft is introducing new AI features on its Bing search engine giving users the ability to search visually.

Other visual updates will offer image-based answers like charts and graphs and the option to receive an answer in different formats. This follows from Microsoft's integration of Bing Image Creator with Bing Chat, which lets users generate written and visual content in one place.

Earlier this month, Hamadouchi redoubled his efforts with 5,000 headshots stuck on walls in places such as Oxford Circus Tube station. Local authorities asked him to stop fly-posting, Hamadouchi told Variety — and he once fled from someone he thought was a council officer.
