The CMA's research report examines the impact of competition and employer market power in the UK labour market. The report reveals that labour market concentration in the UK has remained consistent over the past two decades, with levels varying by region and industry. It also highlights that around 30% of UK workers are impacted by non-compete clauses, and the share of income workers receive compared to their input has slightly increased. The report further discusses the increase in hybrid working arrangements and their impact on the employer-employee power dynamic. The findings support the CMA's focus on addressing anti-competitive wage-fixing and no-poach agreements between employers. The report aims to inform government policy and the CMA's ongoing investigations into suspected anti-competitive conduct in various sectors.
