Permanent job placements rise in April but storm clouds still loom

April's REC and KPMG Report on Jobs showed an increase in permanent placements for the seventh successive month, however temp billings were down for the first time in nine months. Commenting on the results Bernard Brown, Head of Business Services at KPMG, said: "These positive signs should not be taken as a signal that we are reaching the proverbial pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The data suggests that optimism is lower when temporary roles are considered and there are also still too many inconsistencies across the UK to hint at recovery. The reality is that there are likely to be storm clouds ahead before the employment rainbow will really be allowed to shine.”

 

Poor April retail sales mask positive upward trajectory

The BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor showed April sales were down 2.2 percent on a like-for-like basis, with Easter having fallen in March this year. However, the three month total growth average was strong at 2.6 percent. David McCorquodale, Head of Retail, KPMG, said: “This is a positive result and shows that, despite the cold weather of the last few months, the health of the retail sector is holding up and may be on a positive trajectory. It is yet to be seen at what margins these sales are being achieved and what is the cost of fulfilling the online demand, but retailers will be heartened by this momentum.”
