Donmac Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 And so do seasonal jobs, I bet the number of jobs at Meadowhall as increased by a lot more than 7 % My point is that these figures are the best since 2008. The Sept to Oct figures have shown the biggest rise since then. We must also remember that people will be expected to "spend" less due to recession and low availability of credit. The figures cannot therefore be explained as seasonal adjustment alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blades89 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 What percentage of these 7% are jobs that run a household and support a family? Before you ask, no I'm not unemployed - if these are part time jobs at 6 hours a week then they are not proper jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the same report. However salaries for new jobs stayed flat and are two per cent lower than in December 2009 for the third month running, with the Reed Salary Index standing at 97. “We do need to be careful not to get carried away by one month’s figures, especially as this increase only brings us back to the level of demand for new staff that the UK was experiencing in the Spring. Nevertheless, the rise suggests a return of employer optimism to a level not seen for the last eight months.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donmac Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 From the same report. Ah well in that case it must be the Condem policies to blame then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 But it comes every year. that would be relevant if you were comparing figures for October over the years (adjusted for population changes) but you were comparing september to october!

cgksheff Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 A small increase from September to October is not unusual. It will then fall to a low in January.
