It's "entirely plausible" the hospitality sector could lose a further 100,000 workers as a result of the Autumn Budget, according to its trade body. UKHospitality claims the risk stems from minimum wage rises, the introduction of a tourist tax and an overhaul of business rates. Its chief executive Allen Simpson says he is particularly worried about the impact on youth employment, as the sector has already shed an estimated 100,000 jobs since the Budget of October 2024, "including many early career opportunities".
