Report on Jobs – June

The Report on Jobs captures original survey data which provides the most up-to-date monthly picture of recruitment, employment, staff availability and employee earnings trends available. There are three reports, one covering the UK as a whole, one focused specifically on the North of England and one on the South.

The Report on Jobs is a monthly publication produced by IHS Markit and sponsored by KPMG and REC.

“Fortunately, the job stats from June are a good sign that the initial shock is behind us. It is, however, going to take some time to rebuild confidence.

Of course, the uncertainty around COVID-19 will be something we are going to need to contend with for a while, but I am confident that there will still be opportunities out there for candidates while the UK jobs market re-builds.

Recruiters will play a pivotal role in helping people who find themselves in the job market find new opportunities.” – John Mackey, Managing Partner | FJR Executive.
