Today’s employment figures show a higher employment rate and more job vacancies than a year ago, with the unemployment rate at 4.8% - the lowest since records began in 1984. Monster’s site figures reflect this, with steady growth in job postings: Information Technology, Sales, Administration & Support Services are the most buoyant categories for vacancies. Importantly, the Sales category is retaining its position in the top three sectors for job postings, and we see this as a good indication of economic growth and continued recovery.
