Pub Boss Says Hiring Trained Staff Is Now Easier Than Hiring Young People

The boss of a big pub chain, Fuller's, says it's now easier to hire staff who already have experience rather than young people who need training.

The boss, Simon Emeny, says there's no financial reason to hire young people over those with experience.

Simon Emeny says the higher minimum wage for 18 to 20-year-olds means it often makes more sense to hire people who already have the skills.

Simon Emeny told a newspaper that if he has to choose between someone with experience and someone without, he would choose the experienced person. He says this choice has become even easier because of the current job market.

Simon Emeny says his company is still hiring young people, but the cost of hiring someone aged 18 to 20 has increased by 60% in the last four years. He says this is because the government has increased the cost of employing people.

Simon Emeny is the boss of Fuller's, a company that owns pubs and hotels.

Many young people are out of work. Between January and March this year, 729,000 young people aged 16 to 24 were unemployed. This is 110,000 more than the previous year.

A recent report warned that Britain might have a 'lost generation' of young people who are out of work. The report said that 1.25 million young people could be out of work, training, or education in the next five years.

More than 80 big shop bosses have written to the Prime Minister to say that government policies are making it harder to hire young people.

The boss of the British Retail Consortium, Helen Dickinson, says retailers are being priced out of hiring young people because of government taxes and rules.

Many young people get their first job in retail.

Business leaders have written to the government to ask for help to tackle the problem of young people being out of work. They want the government to make it cheaper to hire young people.

The bosses of many big companies, including Aldi, Amazon, and Tesco, have signed the letter.

The retail sector employs nearly three million people and supports many more jobs.

The letter says that it's now more expensive than ever to hire young people, and changes to employment laws are making it harder for companies to manage their staff.

The bosses are worried that this will make it harder for young people to get jobs and improve their lives. They think the government's support for young people is not working well.

The retail sector has said what it thinks the government should do to help. It wants a special team to help young people get jobs, to make it cheaper to hire young people, and to change employment laws to make it easier for companies to hire and train young people.

The boss of Boots, Anthony Hemmerdinger, is passionate about helping young people get jobs and improve their lives.

Anthony Hemmerdinger started his career in retail when he was 16 and knows how important retailers are in giving young people opportunities to work and learn.

Boots has a good record of helping young people get jobs and training. With the right government policies, it could do even more to help young people in the future.
