Budget Boosts Job Market

The Olivier Internet Job Index rose 1.39% (seasonally adjusted) in May, for a total of 220,599 jobs counted ñ a new record. This was despite the interest rate rise, or perhaps because of the expansionary budget.

The internet jobs market slowed for a couple of weeks after the interest rate rise then took off again in the second half of the month. That surge bucked the previous trend after interest rate rises when the jobs market faltered for a month or two before bouncing back.
