UK jobs market ramps up at fastest rate since 1990s as Covid curbs ease

Hiring activity among British employers soared in April at the fastest rate since the late 1990s as more parts of the economy reopened from the latest round of pandemic restrictions, according to a new study.

The monthly index of demand for workers from accountancy firm KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) rose to its highest level in just over 23 years last month, with permanent staff placements growing at the fastest rate since October 1997.
