Google has recently predicted hundreds of thousands of jobs been created in the UK due to a boom in internet technologies. Philipp Schindler has claimed that even though the economy is suffering at the moment, internet companies are continuously growing according to the telegraph.

Schindler commented: "A study by McKinsey has shown that in France and in a mature economy like the UK, the Internet is responsible for a fifth of GDP growth. In the UK, given the rate of job creation that economists associate with a rise in GDP, this translates into an expectation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs thanks to the Internet."

Competition for jobs is currently at a very high rate according to the Trades Union Congress. They also found that the west of London has created more job opportunities than the east. The north is also falling behind the south in jobs growth with the percentage of recruitment being higher in the south.
