It has been reported that Scotland’s jobs market bounced back from nine months of falling growth in April and continued to outperform the rest of the UK as a whole.
Bank of Scotland’s latest Scottish labour market barometer, measuring the pace of job market growth increased marginally from 53.4 in March to 53.5 in April. A figure above 50 indicates expansion and demand for nursing, medical and care staff remained high. However these figures remain well below the all time high of 64.4 set in June last year. So although things might be improving ever so slightly there is still all long way to go.
