Jobs market decline continues to ease
29 Jun 09
In its guide to the UK labour market, KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) Report on Jobs shows that the job market deteriorated at a slower pace in May, as the rates of decline in placements and billings eased further
Craig Anderson, head of KPMG in Scotland, said: “There is now some reason to believe that the UK jobs market has overcome the worst, at least for this phase of the recession.
“For the third successive month we have seen a slowing in the rate of decline in both temporary and permanent staff appointments,” said Anderson.
