Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
Challenges of finding new roles in renewables
Aberdeenshire East MSP Gillian Martin has pressed the Scottish Government over challenges faced by offshore workers in finding new roles in renewables.
Ms Martin's report, A Just Transition? The Voices of Oil and Gas Workers, shows offshore workers face a range of difficulties in moving into different roles, particularly within the renewables sector.
Energy Voice says she has now written to Green Skills Minister Lorna Slater to press the issue of certification, and has asked what is being done to liaise between different organisations to align certification and training standards.
Almost 600 oil and gas workers were surveyed in summer 2021, with the findings compiled in Ms Martin's report, which has since received backing from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
In her letter to the Skills Minister, Ms Martin said: "It is very apparent to me that there is a disconnect between the certification and training standards in both sectors despite considerable skills transferability, and my research with oil and gas workers has further confirmed this."
Pay gap between bosses and workers to grow
The gap between the pay of company executives and other workers is set to widen this year after falling during the height of the Covid pandemic, research by a think tank suggests.
The High Pay Centre said cuts to executive pay led to a fall in the median pay gap between bosses in FTSE 350 firms and employees last year.
But it said early data indicated that the gap will widen again in 2022.
Pay ratios were widest in retail and lowest in media and financial services.
The BBC says unions have called for maximum pay ratios to "bring some fairness back" to the system.
Costs soar for typical family
Basic goods and services for a typical family with two young children are about £400 a month more expensive than they were last year, new data suggests.
Energy prices added about £120 to families' monthly costs as price caps rose and cheap tariffs ended.
Pay is rising more slowly than prices, forcing many families to make tough spending choices.
The data from Loughborough University is based on what focus groups deem a minimum acceptable standard of living.
The BBC says that, as well as the essentials needed to survive, like food, rent and heating, the budgets include things the focus groups believe are needed to take part in society, such as internet access, school trips and an annual family holiday in the UK.
Granite City beauty salon reopens
An award-winning Aberdeen beauty salon has reopened with new owners, saving 12 jobs.
Nailco Nail Bar, of Union Street, closed in April following financial difficulties caused by the pandemic.
Sisters Lucy Slattery and Claire Tester are the new owners and have rebranded the business as Moossh Nails and Beauty.
Ms Tester worked for Nailco for three years and was one of 12 employees facing losing their job.
But after teaming up with her sister to rescue the business all the staff were kept on.
Ms Slattery told the Press and Journal: "Claire has always wanted to own her own business so when this came up it was an opportunity we decided to go for.
"We see an amazing opportunity to build the Moossh Beauty brand here in the heart of Union Street."
