COMMENT: CV-Library MD on the ONS Labour Market Statistics

“It’s great to see that the job market is still doing well. The latest labour market statistics mirror our own data, which showed an 11.3% increase in job vacancies and an even greater rise in candidate applications at 13.2% in the same period. Increased candidate interest is crucial for long-term business sustainability, particularly as the UK embarks on its exit from the EU. But, whilst many have been quick to voice their concerns about the Brexit and what it means for the UK’s economy, the reality is that it’s still far too early to speculate. The nation should be confident in the fact that salaries are still growing, job-hunters are still active and that businesses are continuing to invest in job creation and solidifying their workforces.”
