Jobs Report S&P Global South September 2024

Downturn in hiring activity continues


  • Further declines in permanent placements and temp billings

  • Demand for labour deteriorates at faster pace

  • Supply of workers expands markedly


Commenting on the latest survey results, David Williams, KPMG UK Bristol office senior partner:


“The South of England's labour market is experiencing a downturn, with hiring activity slowing down and redundancies increasing. While this has led to a rise in available candidates, it signals a challenging job market for job seekers in the region. “Uncertainty around potential changes to employment policies ahead of the Budget may be forcing businesses to apply the brakes on recruitment until there is further clarity. In the meantime, candidates with in-demand skills - particularly professional services, IT and medical industries – will most likely still find opportunities.”
