• The national Net Employment Outlook (NEO) has fallen marginally to +5%
from +6% over the last two quarters, but still remains firmly in positive territory
– This is equal with the mean quarterly Outlook over the last year – compared with a mean
quarterly Outlook of +1% in the 12 months prior
• In terms of the raw data, 9% of employers are looking to hire in Q3, with
3% looking to reduce head count and 82% to retain the same staffing levels
• Hiring intentions in London reach their highest level in five years and
now stand at +13%
• There are signs that Construction is digging its way out of trouble. The
sector rose to -4%, having been as low as -13% six months ago
