Q2 figures boost outlook for hospitality and catering jobs

Hospitality and catering jobs are set for a boost according to the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), as second quarter figures have shown faster than expected growth.

The UK's economy showed a positive growth of 1.1% in Q2, which the REC claim is good news for employment in the UK.

“This is good news for the UK economy and is well above expectations," said REC Chief Executive Kevin Green, in a press release.

He added: "The fact that we have the fastest quarterly expansion since 2006 will improve business confidence and should encourage firms to start hiring new staff.

“Recruitment industry data confirms that demand for staff in the private sector has already been growing over recent months. We need to see this trend accelerating if we are to balance the 700k jobs that will be lost in the public sector in the next few years.”

The latest stats from the REC show a strong rise in permanent staff placements.
