UK DATA: KPMG/REC: Jobs Growth Fastest Since Spring 2011
-KPMG/REC: UK Nov permanent placements 56.0 vs 55.0 in Oct
-KPMG/REC: UK Nov temporary billings 57.4 index vs 54.5 Oct
———————————————————————–
UK permanent placements and temporary job billings accelerated at
their fastest pace since the spring of last year, with anecdotal
evidence of a pick-up in confidence supporting hiring. The KPMG/REC
survey, compiled by Markit, is at odds with some other recent data, with
unemployment rising in the official data series and with Markit’s own
CIPS activity indicators weakening.
