Whether it’s because we are starting to head out of the recession now or not, it seems businesses are getting back on track and employing again! Whatever the reason, it’s looking more positive for employment in both the temporary and permanent sectors so we aren’t going to question it.
According to the REC’s July Jobs-Outlook, it is estimated that around 74% of employers will be looking to take on more employees over the next 3 months with a further 66% of employers looking to increase their permanent staff headcount in the next year. Staffing increases are up and headcount freezes are down.
Don’t worry if you are a temporary worker. Temporary staff are not left out of the good news either as around 79% of businesses will be looking to increase temporary staff (or maintain the level) over the next year.
Encouraging for all – the economy, businesses and employees!
