Job market 'has grounds for optimism' in 2011
The UK jobs market has grounds for optimism in 2011 as more positions become available, one sector expert has observed.
Martin Warnes, managing director of reed.co.uk, made the comments after the Reed Job Index for December revealed that the number of job opportunities in the UK rose by four per cent last month compared with the year before.
He noted that certain sectors in the private sphere will be more in need of new workers than others, despite public sector cuts, which may include new positions being created for sales recruitment staff.
"Job sectors as different as consultancy, marketing, banking and engineering have experienced accelerating demand. Salaries have stabilised and in key areas increased, threatening the reappearance of skills shortages," he explained.
Mr Warnes added that the private sector will lead a "steady recovery" in 2011, particularly as the threat of a double-dip recession was avoided in 2010 and now looks very unlikely.
