KPMG: Jobs market recovery now underway

The UK jobs market appears to be returning to health, according to one commentator.
Bernard Brown, partner and head of business services at Big Four firm KPMG, noted that the volume of both permanent and temporary job placements has been increasing in recent months.
This trend continued during January, according to the latest Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC)/KPMG Report on Jobs.
Mr Brown commented: "As confidence has returned to the private sector, the starting gun for a public sector recession has only just been fired."
He suggested that its impact on the jobs market will be felt over the next 12 to 18 months, as recruitment budgets increase and employers gain confidence over the state of the economy.
Last week, Roger Tweedy, director of research at the REC, claimed the UK labour market still needs support from the government, despite initial signs of a recovery.
He claimed that the journey towards full employment will be "a slow one".
