Number of permanent positions in the North of England rises sharply throughout June

According to a recent report by professional services firm KPMG, the number of workers placed in permanent positions across the North of England has literally sky-rocketed over the course of June, further proving the fact that the UK’s economy is recovering.

The pace of expansion also accelerated to the quickest in six months and was the second fastest among all four English regions, behind the south. At the UK level, permanent staff appointments expanded at the quickest pace in over two years.

Mick Thompson, KPMG’s office senior partner in Newcastle, said: “It’s often said that things happen “in threes” and the latest northern jobs data, revealing the highest growth rates in permanent placements for six months, has provided the hat-trick, complementing positive reports about the services sector and UK GDP. Confidence is suggested by latest figures, with employers stepping up their search for staff and even beginning to increase the salaries they offer to new employees.”

Although the signs of economic pick-up are quite encouraging, the truth of the matter is that companies should plan very carefully their development plans and addition of extra staff, in order to optimize their businesses processes.
