Jobs market is ‘recovering’
The job market in the UK is showing further signs of improvements, according to the latest 'Report on Jobs' from KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation.
The report showed that permanent staff placements increased for the sixth month running during January. Although weaker than December's peak, the rate of growth remained marked. Temporary staff billings also rose strongly, with the pace of expansion only slightly below the previous month's two and a half year high.
Higher staff appointments were underpinned by a further improvement in demand for staff. Vacancies increased for the fourth consecutive month and at the fastest rate since July 2007.
"The UK jobs market is continuing its journey back to health. Placements of permanent and temporary jobs have been rising again in January although at a slower pace than a month before, a reminder that the road to recovery will be bumpy," said Bernard Brown of KPMG.
