Recovery of UK job market 'is accelerating'

The UK job market is continuing its recovery at an accelerating rate, according to an industry expert.

Kevin Green, chief executive of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, said that as we head into 2010, employer confidence is increasing and the number of vacancies is on the up, with the fastest growth in permanent jobs since July 2007.

"Temporary and contract placements also rose at the sharpest pace for thirty months, which underlines the crucial role that flexible working models will play in helping job-seekers back into work," he added.

Bernard Brown, partner and head of business services at KPMG, commented that the jobs market has continued its journey back to health, stating that the new data was "certainly encouraging".

He added that we need to see this improvement carried well into 2010 for the jobs recovery to be consolidated.

The sales jobsworld has also been boosted by figures from Marks and Spencer, which said that it saw a rise in sales for the three months up to Christmas last year.
