  2. >He added: “This is very much a candidate’s market now. Firms need to think about how they will attract staff facing greater competition than ever before.

    What world are people like this living in? it’s not the employees market at all and firms are doing near enough nothing to make themselves more worthwhile.

    Especially if you live where I do are 99% of your options are factory/warehouse work for ~£10 an hour which is a fucking subsistence wage.

  3. And it’s all warehouse/factory/carer jobs on minimum wage. At least in my local area. Yeah, I’ll pass thanks.

  4. Be interesting to see what percentage of this 3.5m is made up of Care and Factory jobs. Aside from the council and jobcentre apprenticeship jobs that’s all that’s in my area
