Thursday newspaper round-up: Hospitality jobs, household bills, Netflix

A UK “newspaper round-up” highlights several policy and business stories. The Guardian reports that bars, clubs and restaurants could offer up to 100,000 jobs over three years to young people not in employment, education or training (NEET), ahead of a report by former health secretary Alan Milburn. It also says households have spent nearly £14,000 more on mortgages, loans, energy and water bills over five years. The Guardian adds that Netflix plans to cut up to 1,000 jobs worldwide, aiming to axe about 6% of global staff, mainly in product, technology, legal and human resources. The Times reports OpenAI’s UK arm saw average staff earnings of about £2.3m per employee, with total costs reaching £258m in 2025.
