Unemployment rate continues to drop. New figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show more good news for UK jobseekers, as unemployment fell in the fourth quarter of last year by 125,000 compared to the third quarter.

Unemployment rate continues to drop

According to freshbusinessthinking.com, the decline means that in December, just 2.34 million people were out of work in the UK. Now, the unemployment rate sits at 7.2 per cent. Wages also rose in the year to December 2013 by 1.1 per cent. However, it should be noted that inflation rose by 1.9 per cent over the same period, meaning average earning increases still aren’t matching cost of living rises. At the end of 2013, 72.1 per cent of the population was employed, an increase from 0.6 per cent compared to December 2012. There was good news for women too, as 67.2 per cent of the female population were in work in December. Broadcast Jobs, Digital New Media & TV Jobs, Media Sales Jobs – Boyce Recruitment.

London proves popular choice for job searches

A report by digital marketing agency Greenlight found that London and Glasgow were the top locations within the UK. The term ‘jobs in London’ accounted for two per cent of the job searches that consumers make for specific locations. Greenlightdigital.com reports that the results of the study are similar to the figures released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS). Those figures showed a fall in unemployment in the UK by 4,000 in the quarter from April to June. Kevin Green, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation CEO said that the data from the ONS proves that the UK was starting to head in the right direction. He also pointed out that “the skills, experience or confidence to take advantage of those opportunities” was a concern for people who had been unemployed, potentially pushing them towards looking for apprenticeships rather than jobs.
