<p>[伦敦] 英国最大的零售商在过去一年中裁减了近 18,000 个职位，因为该行业自工党上台以来面临更高的税收和工资。</p>
<p>裁员主要由英国最大的杂货商特易购主导，该公司在最新的财年中，英国和爱尔兰的员工人数减少了近 5,000 人。</p>
<p>与此同时，竞争对手超市连锁 J Sainsbury、百货商店集团约翰·刘易斯合伙公司和 B&amp;Q 的拥有者金雀花在过去一年中，平均员工人数均减少了约 3,000 人，彭博社对最近发布的年度报告的分析显示。</p>
<p>损失的规模凸显了行业领导者的警告，即财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯的税收增加正在重塑该国最大的雇主之一。政府在去年四月提高了国民保险缴款，这是一种工资税，同时也提高了最低工资。</p>
<p>“零售商面临来自更高的国民保险缴款、上升的工资支出和持续的全球不稳定的重大成本压力，” 英国零售协会首席执行官海伦·迪金森表示。“这推高了整个供应链的成本，使许多企业在招聘方面更加谨慎。”</p>
<p>财政部发言人表示，政府 “拥有稳定经济和为家庭及企业提供支持的正确经济计划”，并宣传了一项价值 25 亿英镑（约合 43 亿新元）的青年就业支持计划。他补充说，提高最低工资将使超过 200,000 名年轻工人的薪资增加。</p>

<p>其他零售商也缩减了员工队伍。家居用品和服装零售商 Next 以及运动服装销售商 JD Sports Fashion 各自报告员工人数减少了大约 1,500 人。马克斯与斯宾塞的平均员工人数相对保持不变。</p>
<p>总的来说，零售商裁减了近 18,000 名员工。相比之下，他们在一年前增加了员工人数。他们拒绝对此发表评论。</p>
<p>人们对英国年轻人失业人数的担忧日益加剧。根据国家统计局上周发布的数据，第一季度超过 100 万名 16 至 24 岁的年轻人没有就业、教育或培训，这是自 2013 年以来的最高水平。</p>

<p>英国最大的零售商，包括乐购、塞恩斯伯里和金雀花，在过去一年中裁减了近 18,000 个职位。行业领导者将这些裁员归因于国家保险缴款的增加和工党政府实施的最低工资上涨。尽管财政部为其经济计划辩护，强调对青年就业的支持，但零售商警告称，税收增加和监管负担正在抑制招聘和投资</p>

<p>[LONDON] Britain’s largest retailers have shed almost 18,000 jobs in the past year, as the industry grapples with higher taxes and wages since Labour came to power.</p>

</div><p>The scale of the losses underscores warnings from industry leaders that Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves’ tax increases are reshaping one of the country’s largest employers.
