LONDON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - British labour market data released on Tuesday show that recruitment difficulties have eased slightly, but remain high by historic standards, Bank of England Chief Economist Huw Pill said in remarks released by the central bank on Thursday. "While pointing to some easing in recent months, these indicators suggest the labour market remains tight in an absolute sense relative to historical experience," Pill said in the text of a speech he will deliver to Warwick University.
