Good news for contractors: Short to medium term outlook looks good for umbrella company contractors
Good news for contractors; the latest Jobs Outlook report from REC shows that the overall jobs outlook is varied but in the short to medium term the demand for temporary agency workers is actually set to increase.
85% of contractor employers surveyed said they either plan to maintain the amount of contractors they employ or in fact increase the number.
In such a competitive post recession job market, flexible working options such as contract work is a great work opportunity for job seekers looking to get back into employment.
The Jobs Outlook report also outlines:
6% of employers are planning to decrease the number of permanent employees within the next 3 months.
26% of employers intend to increase their workforce over the next 12 months.
Two thirds of employers insist they will keep staffing at the same levels they are at presently.
In conclusion I believe this report justifies that employers still feel wary due to the post recession recovering economy however businesses are now starting to gain confidence in the market and looking towards renewed commitment to using agency workers. This definitely sends a positive message as to the importance of the UK's umbrella company contractors., making it a good alternative for people looking for new methods of entering the job market.
