Jobs growth 'continues despite govt austerity measures'
Companies have maintained their current level of recruitment despite the government's recently-announced austerity measures, new figures have shown.
A report published by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation has shown that the number of organisations predicting that demand for permanent employees will increase in the next quarter has remained static at 14 per cent.
Companies remain as likely to invest in sales recruitment as before the Emergency Budget, as the REC has concluded that the number of both temporary and permanent positions wil show net gains over the next 12 months.
Roger Tweedy, the organisation's director of research, claimed that there will be a strong rise in temporary and interim staffing in both the private and public sectors.
He said: "The longer term trends are encouraging but we may now have to wait until the autumn for further positive momentum to return to the labour market."
One key sector which could see a rise in the number of available sales jobs is the financial services industry, as figures published by the Confederation of British Industry and PricewaterhouseCoopers have shown that the industry is growing at its fastest rate since September 2007.
