Read an interesting news article today that said, recruitment is picking up in the City, according to economic consultancy cebr. They have predicted that around 14,000 new banking and finance jobs will be created in the UK during the course of 2010. And this figure is set to rise to 22,000 over the next two years.


Good stuff considering the banking sectors have not had much positive exposure for a while now and for those seeking jobs in banking this should be welcome news right?


They did say thought that a full recovery to pre-crisis employment levels would take some time, due to “a sluggish recovery and a lower rate of job creation”, and that total level of City jobs is expected to remain below 2007 peak levels for at least a decade as growth in financial markets remains structurally lower than experienced during the pre-2007 boom.

At least things are coming right a bit, something is more than nothing i suppose.

I agree, the figures look good so far. I think if more companies became more actively invovled, things might pick up faster, amd wed have pre-2007 levels sooner. maybe we will see a bigger improvement now that elections are done with.
