The economy holds firm
Some positive news released in the last week or so maybe suggesting that the UK economy is a bit more robust than we first thought.
The working population has more money to spend. Pay has risen: total wages including bonus are up by 2 per cent year on year in Q1. Inflation dropped - Ryan Air's ebullient leader Michael O'Leary taking full responsibility.
Retail sales in April were up 1.3 per cent on the previous month and 4.3% year on year.
The official employment rate is maintaining its record high and is now at 74.2 per cent. To put this in some perspective the French employment rate is currently around 64% and Germany's around 74.4.

Criminal most fluid talent pool
A third of the legal talent pool is on the move at any time but there is always going to be a bit of ebb and flow through different segments.
We got a bit more granular with the data we crunched when producing our 2016 Salary and Benefits Benchmarker and found out which practice areas and job functions are more transient than others.
So, who's on the move? And who's digging the groove?
Top spot goes to legal professionals working in Criminal Practice. Nearly half are on the move and in our experience many are looking to retrain.
Next up come Legal Secretaries and PA’s. 43% are looking to change jobs.
The Insurance and PI sector has been under a lot of pressure and 37% of legal professionals working in the vertical are considering opportunities.
