Midlands – UK Regional Labour Market Trends, February 2024
Job vacancies in 2023 fall by 23.7% compared to 2022, according to the latest UK Labour Market Trends report by leading professional body APSCo and labour market data analysts Vacancysoft.
Accounting & Finance – UK Finance Labour Market Trends Report, March 2024
When examining recruitment activity in the capital, the signs are positive. Indeed, there has been a 24.6% increase in recruitment within Commerce & Industry in 2024 compared to the monthly average of 2023, with increases in retail, media, and technology. In contrast, regional activity has yet to experience such an upturn, with aggregate vacancies down by 5.4% so far this year and Commerce & Industry experiencing a 5.7% drop specifically.
Tax – UK Legal Labour Market Trends, March 2024
February saw Law firms post more vacancies for tax lawyers nationally than any other month over the prior two years. Furthermore, we expect a surge of 32.5% by the end of 2024. Factoring the regionalization happening within the sector, where the regions retain 80.5% of the national share, there has also been a noticeable shift in 2024 to date, with hiring in London on the rise.
Bloomberg: McKinsey and Peers Slam Brakes on UK Jobs as Vacancies Dive 80%
Job vacancies at UK consulting firms plunged by over 80% in 2023 due to factors such as weak economic growth, fewer deals in the City of London, and the uncertainty surrounding an upcoming general election.

Property picks up as interest rates fall
After all, following 2023, the real estate industry is showing signs of picking up as interest rates fall. Residential Property, in part due to the chronic shortage of new houses being built, is already seeing prices rise. With commercial property, there is a deeper question about what kind of work space businesses want, in this new pandemic period. Insofar that nationwide, occupancy is still below pre-pandemic levels, some areas are doing better than others.
Anti-Money Laundering Vacancies hit 12 month high
As Russia re-elected Putin this weekend, the impact on the UK is being seen in more ways than one. Already, Grant Schapps is talking about the need for further defence spending as we move from a post-war to a pre-war world. Meanwhile, the avenues for money to be funnelled into London are slowly closing, and the determination to minimize access is clear. The decision to double the economic crime levy for very large companies from April, to £500,000 per institution is a reflection of that.
The public sector looks set to shrink this year, what next?
Government pressure on public sector spending sees vacancies drop. At the last count it was estimated there were nearly 5.9m people employed in the public sector, where just as importantly, that number has grown significantly over the last seven years.
Our partners in the recruitment industry share their thought leadership insights, advice, and best practices.
