Summary of the latest report

The latest Report on Jobs showed a continued decline in permanent staff appointments in April, although the rate of decline was the slowest since last September. Temporary billings followed a similar pattern, easing at the slowest rate in four months. Meanwhile, starting salaries rose steadily in April, matching March’s seven-month high, though still below long-term averages. Temporary wages saw the fastest growth in 11 months, driven by recent minimum and living wage increases.
