Recruitment freeze and switch from agency to staff employees is having impact, the government says.
The number of people working for the government in Jersey, excluding healthcare and education staff, has reduced by 181 as a recruitment freeze on back office jobs continues. The government said the reduction to 8,908 staff showed the impact of its policy to "prioritise staff recruitment to frontline services".
Overall the government figures showed an increase in headcount of 153, which includes staff in healthcare and education. The government said this included workers who had been moved from agency employment and given permanent contracts in a bid to cut consultancy costs. The government said the overall rise in head count last year was "considerably lower" than the 394 increase in 2024 and the 457 growth in 2023.Deputy Malcolm Ferey, vice-chair of the States Employment Board, said the government had "strengthened frontline services by investing in key staff in those areas".Many workers in Guernsey face having to leave the island due to their work permits ending, with a temporary extension being looked at by The States.Larry Fink also warns if oil prices stay high for a sustained period it will have "profound implications" for the world economy.Figures suggest that over the course of 2025 the number of jobs in the NI hospitality sector fell by 2,000.Annual earnings grew at an annual rate of 3.8% in the November to January period, the Office for National Statistics says.
