2 very different stocks that pay above-average levels of passive income!
UK stocks offer plenty of opportunities to generate healthy levels of passive income. Here are two examples. The Harbour Energy (LSE:HBR) share price has come under pressure since the middle of 2022, when the previous government announced plans to introduce an energy profits levy (or windfall tax) on profit made from the North Sea. To help mitigate the impact, the oil and gas producer bought the upstream assets of Wintershall Dea. The group now has operations in nine countries and faces a lower average tax rate than before. Harbour's current policy is to return $455m to shareholders each year. Its 2024 dividend of 26.19 cents (19.47p at current exchange rates) was 13.8% higher than in 2022. It's forecasting free cash flow (FCF) of $900m in 2025, so there's plenty of headroom. However, like all energy producers, the group's earnings are sensitive to oil and gas prices. The FCF estimate assumes a Brent crude price of $65 a barrel and a European gas price of $12/mscf (thousand standard cubic feet). A fall could lead to a cut in the dividend. During the first quarter of 2025, the group's production was split 40% liquids (oil) and 60% gas. Current prices are around $72 and $12 respectively. Therefore, at the moment, the payout appears secure. Of course, this could quickly change. Other factors that should help earnings include a post-acquisition $5/boe (barrel of oil equivalent) fall in the cost of production and lower interest costs due to a reduction in debt. Based on a current (20 June) share price of 210p, the stock's yielding an impressive 9.27%. The average for the FTSE 250 is 3.46%. Although the five-year share price performance of Legal & General (LSE:LGEN) has probably disappointed shareholders – it's increased 15% compared to a 40% rise in the FTSE 100 – I'm sure its dividend hasn't. Impressively, the pension and savings group's payout in 2024 of 21.36p was 21.6% higher than in 2020. And if it wasn't for the pandemic – when the group maintained its dividend for one year – it would be able to claim a 15-year unbroken run of increases. Looking ahead, the directors hope to grow it by 2% a year from 2025-2027. I think this is achievable if it's able to win new pension business – it has a pipeline of £44bn of schemes that it's looking to acquire – and a trend of customers moving into higher margin products continues. But the group has huge investments (£505bn at 31 December 2024) in global equites, bonds and commercial property on its balance sheet. To meet its obligations to pensioners, these need to perform in line with expectations. This makes its earnings (and dividend) vulnerable to the same global uncertainty that affects most investors. Also, it operates in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Based on amounts paid over the past 12 months and a current share price of 254p, the stock's yielding 8.41%. The average for the FTSE 100 is 3.49%. Although dividends cannot be guaranteed, I think both of these stocks are well placed to – as a bare minimum – maintain their generous payouts. That's why I have them in my Stocks and Shares ISA. And for the same reason, income investors could consider including them in their own portfolios.

Graduating, but not getting hired: P.E.I. grads face uncertain job market
When Ishani Sabitharashi walked across the convocation stage at UPEI to receive her degree in environmental studies in May, she was all smiles in her school regalia. She posed for photos, proudly holding the degree she had worked four years to earn. But reality soon set in. Sabitharashi has spent months, even before graduation, applying for full-time jobs both within and outside her field. So far, no luck. To pay the bills, she's currently working part-time in sales at a jewelry store. "That kind of makes you feel sad and disappointed, because… you're not getting what you want while you are stuck in another place [that] has nothing to do with your degree," Sabitharashi told CBC News. Sabitharashi isn't alone. Kylah Hennessey, a career counsellor at UPEI, says she's heard from a number of final-year students and new graduates struggling to find full-time work, whether in their field or even in casual employment. "Unemployment rate for youth is high right now," Hennessey said. Recent data from Statistics Canada proves that. Apart from the pandemic, Canadian graduates between the ages of 15 and 24 are facing the highest unemployment rate this country has seen since the mid-1990s. Hennessey says part of the issue is economic uncertainty, which leads to many employers not hiring as many people as before. Canada's youngest workers are grappling with a perfect storm of economic conditions: an inflation crisis that came on the heels of a pandemic, and now, a country teetering closer to recession as the U.S. trade war wreaks uncertainty on the economy. But there can be other reasons why students are struggling in the job market, Hennessey said, including a lack of opportunities in their fields of study. Sabitharashi has been looking for jobs related to environmental health and safety on the Island. But she said most openings, even entry-level positions, require previous experience, which is something difficult for recent graduates to show. She has expanded her search across the Maritimes but faces the same problem. "When you graduate, you do have some sort of hope and expectations, like, 'Maybe after a few months, I'm gonna land into a job that is full-time, related to my field,'" she said. "That is not the reality anymore." Hennessey said this is why part of her role involves helping students align their job market outlook with reality. "It's about… managing those expectations and recognizing, you know, jobs out of graduation aren't jobs you're retiring from, and that there [are] still lots of opportunities there," Hennessey said. She added that when helping students map out their career, she encourages them not to limit options to their field of study, but to view initial jobs as stepping stones to employment. Hennessey said some students also lack key skills, especially the ability to tailor their resumes and cover letters to specific positions. She often sees students who already have work experience, but find it difficult to recognize how their existing skills can transfer to other fields. That's why she spends a lot of time helping them identify and articulate those transferable ones. "It's about just working with them one on one, and trying to pull out those experiences that they've had to make it more relevant to the work that they're applying for," she said. "Most people aren't aware that they should be spending more time tailoring their resume." Another common weak point for students is networking, especially when it comes to connecting with potential employers. "It is a struggle for those students who spent a lot of time in COVID and didn't have those same opportunities of networking, even with their peers, and building those relationships with their peers, with their teachers," Hennessey said. Most people aren't aware that they should be spending more time tailoring their resume. — Kylah Hennessey, UPEI career counsellor She recommends students look for everyday opportunities to practise communication. "It might exist when you go to a teller in a grocery store and just asking them how they're doing, how's your day. Or with a peer in the classroom, turning to them and maybe asking them a question… engaging maybe with friends, parents." After graduating, Sabitharashi applied for a work permit that allows international students to stay and work in Canada for up to three years. She's still waiting to receive it, but remains optimistic. "You cannot just sit here and complain, like, 'Oh, I'm not getting jobs.' I'm continuously trying. I'm applying for different jobs — not just only my field, but different fields," she said. "And I would say, any student who graduated or [is] looking for a job right now, they should never give up. Just keep on trying."
