The new data shows that over 400,000 full-time jobs were posted online in June 2021 - an enormous 256 percent increase on June 2020. That figure also represents an 18 percent increase since May 2021, following a 19 percent rise since April 2021 - pointing to a rapidly accelerating growth in the full-time jobs market.
There is also encouraging news for part-time work revealed by the new data. The number of part time positions posted in June 2021 represents a 174% increase on June 2020. And every month of Q2 has seen rapidly increasing numbers of part time positions being posted. The positive increase points to the continued recovery of the economy as more of the non-essential retail, hospitality and other sectors that are reliant on part-time work begin to fully reopen - ahead of the 19 July unlocking.
Key findings from IA’s ‘Industry Indicators: Jobs (3i Jobs) Q2 2021 Report ’ include:
The new data, part of IA’s ‘3i Report’ series, presents monthly insights on the UK job market using data from national and internet-based resources. The report tracks month to month trends in the online job market and presents unique information on hiring, openings and an online income tracker that identifies the amount of additional income being made by people online through, for example, selling products on platforms like Etsy or Ebay. The tracker shows that over a fifth of UK adults are using the internet to earn money online, with 9 percent of those earning more than £250 a month online.
The report also highlights how the internet is a vital tool to help people find work and create income in a variety of ways - with the latest update a cause for optimism for the UK full-time and part time jobs market. It shows rapid growth in online job postings after a difficult period during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and a stabilising rate of people earning money online.
