2 reports on job creation

Suprised that this isn't already being discussed.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11224407

REC & KPMG both highlight that job creation is falling. Further, they expect this trend to continue.

That is a little worrying, especially as seasonal jobs don't appear to help buck the trend.

So if jobs aren't being created - especially in the private sector, what impact will that have on the austerity?

For the inflationistas out there, wage inflation for permanent jobs is at a 3 month high.;)
It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I have spent the last couple of days trying to populate a town website with jobs.... and for that particular town there are none. I managed to get a scrape directly from the Jobcentreplus listings - and that's producing one job every two weeks.

    I am still looking at every resource I can to try to find some jobs. Reed's just as bad - two there I think... rest are adverts for learning to become a driving instructor... or just big national ads, generic ads run across the entire Reed network.

    Local agencies ... well, there's one here. 0 jobs. County-wide - I've found about 3 jobs.
  • Job appointments grew at their slowest rate in 14 months in October, according to a survey.
    ...
    It said one reason for the slowdown was that fewer vacancies were appearing.

    We simply must get these people on Mastermind. Specialised subject 'the bl*ee*ding obvious'.

    Couple of the agencies in my town centre have closed down Pastures.

    In addition to the OP, I wonder if we'll move away from agencies, or they will become more common?

    I was additionally trying to compile a list of actual agencies in the county - there being only one in this particular town it wouldn't have made much of a list - and so far have found 40% of the ones I googled were no longer alive.

    It's not that obvious, most companies I've worked for never advertise jobs, because they didn't need to. It's all word of mouth.
