Recent data collected by Adzuna shows that 1.158 million positions were created in June. This equates to 0.5 job seekers per open position.

Doug Monro, co-founder at Adzuna comments,

“Jobseekers have a lot to be optimistic about. Rising vacancies in June suggests that the jobs market was strong pre-Brexit and that employers may still be keen to hire in the next couple of months. Negative headlines disguise a picture of steady growth in the run up to the vote. The latest GDP growth showing the economy was growing pre-Brexit is another encouraging sign.”

The data also revealed that Cambridge was the best city for job seekers with a position to job seeker ratio at 14:01.

However, the average salary is at a 25 month low which potentially highlights an increased in low-skilled positions. Monro ads:

“Salaries are struggling to reach their former heights. It’s disappointing but isn’t necessarily an unhealthy symptom. As vacancies keep growing it seems that jobs coming on to the market are lower-paid."
