The number of people recruited for permanent jobs in Britain grew at its slowest pace in nine months in July, reflecting record low unemployment and a shortage of migrant workers from the European Union, a recruiters’ body has said, שרייבט וויליאם סטשאָמבערג.

A monthly survey by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) showed there was no lack of appetite for hiring among employers, as the number of vacancies grew at the fastest pace since November 2017.

Britain’s unemployment rate has tumbled to its lowest level since 1975 at 4.2% and many employers have reported a shortage of EU migrants available for work since the Brexit vote in June 2016.

An REC spokeswoman said companies were continuing to flag the problem of fewer EU candidates for jobs in Britain.

Official data has shown that the number of EU immigrants to Britain fell to a five-year low last year.

“With our data showing starting salaries continuing to rise, the latest official government figures suggest that we are finally seeing the effects of a tighter labour market feed through to pay,” Sophie Wingfield, head of policy at REC, said.

Employers picked up the pace of hiring of temporary workers and their pay rose too, REC said.
