Professional Job Opportunities Rise 10%

08 Jul 2013

There has been an increase of 10% in professional job opportunities in the second quarter of this year compared the same period last year.

The Morgan McKinley employment monitor also recorded a year to date increase of 5% when compared with the first six months of last year.

Karen O Flaherty, chief operations officer with the group, said growing business confidence year on year has allowed such positions to steadily increase.

"From a month-to-month perspective, there was a 3% decrease in job availability from May to June. However, there was an increase of 10% in the number of new professional job vacancies available compared to June 2012.

"So overall, however modest the figures are, quarter on quarter we would consider that fairly positive."
