Samsung has said that 739 roles in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, have been affected by plans by Samsung Electronics America (SEA) - the South Korean tech giant's ​U.S. display, phone and other consumer electronics unit which does not include semiconductors - to move its headquarters to Texas. At SEA's office in Plano, Texas, around 100 workers, ​including in its mobile division, have been let go.

Employer's national insurance should be cut for under-25s, MPs say

MPs on the Work and Pensions Committee have called for employer's national insurance contributions for under-25s to be cut to help bring down the number of young people not in education, employment or training (Neet).

Abrahams said: "Even a short spell as Neet in one's formative years can damage mental health, impact future career opportunities and reduce lifetime earnings."

Men 'more likely than women to use job offers for pay rises'

A study suggests that men are more likely than women to use outside job opportunities as leverage ​to negotiate higher pay in their existing ‌jobs. The research by the Rockwool Foundation Berlin estimates that renegotiation accounts for around half ⁠of the gender pay gap and suggests that pay transparency alone may not close persistent ​gender pay gaps. The ‌study seen by Reuters ⁠found that outside job opportunities raise men's wages in their existing jobs, but women in the same situation see no comparable gains, even ​though they ​are just ⁠as likely as men to change employer.
