Permanent placements increase is good news for graduates

Permanent placements increase is good news for graduates Graduate job hunters may be interested to hear that the monthly jobs report from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG showed that that the number of people being placed in permanent jobs in the UK rose in March at its fastest rate since October 1997.

The permanent placements index, used by the REC and KPMG, rose from 63.2 in February to 65.2, while the temporary placements index rose to 60.9 from 57.9, which was in fact a 33-month high.

Bernard Brown, partner at KPMG, said: "The UK jobs market seems to be going from strength to strength, with permanent job placements growing at the fastest rate for 12 years.

"These figures show that private sector confidence is returning and that the UK is existing recession at a pace."

This news comes soon after PricewaterhouseCoopers was named the most desired company to work for in the Guardian's UK 300, after being second place last year, while last year's winners Deloitte slumped to fifth place in the Trendence Survey.ADNFCR-834-ID-19708447-ADNFCR
