Citing is doing all the work when the actual line is we asked and they picked from the menu we gave them. Five year low but dipped slightly means the frame is crisis not we're within noise of last quarter and someone needed the headline.

Vacancy numbers dipped slightly over the May-to-July period to 707,000, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which said small firms were citing labour and operating costs as reasons for scaling back hiring.

    'We asked and they picked from the menu' is the exact shape of every release like this. You don't get to call it a five year low when the delta is slight and the quote is a survey checkbox someone at a small firm ticked in June.
