Latest ONS data has revealed a strong demand from employers, with temp workers helping businesses while labour availability is running low.
Commenting on the recent Office for National Statistics (ONS) labour market report, Neil Carberry, Chief Executive of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), said, “Today’s data shows businesses and candidates are reacting to the economic situation, but the overall picture remains one of strong demand from employers.
“With employment and unemployment both rising slightly, and economic inactivity dropping a little, it may be that the long period of growing inactivity through the pandemic is ending.”
