Comment on: Group 'UK Recruiting': es. The latest report discusses data on the number of jobs distributed by Adcourier to its (circa) 1,100 job boards during the 2009 calendar year. The report is broken down by sector, providing details on how individual industries like IT, Financial Services and graduate recruitment performed during the recession. With the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) reporting that 1.31 million people were made redundant during the recession it is perhaps unsurprising to learn that overall the number of adverts posted by Broadbean clients in 2009 fell by 32.2% when compared to 2008. As house building slumped under the impact of the credit crunch, the Building & Construction industry saw a 67.8% decrease in the numbers of jobs posted when comparing 2009 to 2008, marking it as the worst hit industry of the year. In contrast Not For Profit industries saw a significant overall increase in job opportunities being advertised. In particular the Social Care industry saw an unprecedented rise following a huge Government recruitment campaign for Social Workers. Not For Profit industry postings were most notable for their stability month on month having fewer peaks and troughs than any other industry. Purchasing & Procurement appeared almost as stable despite a slight decline. http://lu.mu/09bbreport ( copy and paste into browser to obtain report)…; Added by tom to UK Recruiting at 5:35am on March 16, 2010

ABOUT "THE END OF JOBS As the robots rise, we are faced with the End of Jobs, but not in the way you might think... The world has witnessed three step functions in technological change: mechanization, electrification, and computerization. These industrial revolutions led to massive increases in productivity and thus we need far fewer workers. With each of these technological breakthroughs, the power balance between companies and workers shifted heavily to companies. The abuses of that power by companies instigated employee unrest and sometimes even armed uprisings. Counterbalancing forces rose to constrain companies’ power, eventually prompting unions, regulation, and the social safety net to bring stability to the relationship. As we enter the fourth great leap forward in technology with robots and AI, we face the first services revolution. The power balance will again shift massively to companies as new technologies drive productivity increases in the service industry, much as the last three industrial revolutions transformed manufacturing. What lessons can we learn from the past three industrial revolutions and the current state of the labor market? How will we renegotiate the social contract to ensure fairness for workers, set clear rules for companies, and provide stability for society? What is the future of work?…; Added by Jim Stroud at 5:55pm on July 6, 2020
