With the UK unemployment rate remaining at 4.7 per cent in the last three months up to January 2005 and the number of vacancies increasing by 2,600 from the previous quarter, we would expect to see further movement in the UK labour market over the coming months. At Monster we have over 77,000 jobs available monthly on the site and keep witnessing a constant flow of new job postings, and jobseekers continue to post their CVs, comments Andrew Wilkinson, CEO of Monster Worldwide, UK.
Many growing sectors are increasingly experiencing a ’war for talent’ as they have distinct candidate shortages. Services sectors such as IT and accounting are buoyant with plenty of opportunities and we have seen a dramatic increase in job postings over the last month in healthcare, aerospace, computers and electronics. In addition, a constant increase in marketing, advertising and public relations jobs indicates a strong economy, as these are always the last sectors to show growth.
