If British workers want to look for another job, this is a great time to do so. With the unemployment rate at 4.7, 0.2 percentage points down from the previous quarter, and an increased number of job vacancies over the past year, the labour market is looking more robust than it has done for a long time, comments Joe Slavin, managing director, Monster.co.uk.
At Monster.co.uk we continue seeing a rise in the number of vacancies advertised on our site as well as a rise in the number of job searches. The increase is noticeable in jobs posted in the advertising, marketing and public relations industry. The buoyancy in these sectors reinforces the upturn in the economy.
