LONDON: Britain’s labour market is showing more signs of cooling and businesses remain negative about their prospects in the coming months, according to surveys.

Job search website Adzuna said yesterday, online job adverts fell by 1.3% in the 12 months to August – the first such drop since February – and by 2.1% in month-on-month terms.
