That's the end of another Academic Year...

But new graduates are still on the hunt for jobs...

The Class of 2022 have their results and graduation ceremonies are underway. In fact in some Universities the Class of 2020 and 2021 are also finally getting their in-person graduation ceremonies too.

Those from previous years are already in work (although might be on the hunt for their next career step!). But for the Class of 2022 there's still time to tempt them into your job.

Latest Labour Market stats are challenging

The news for recruiters gets more challenging, with the latest national labour market analysis showing:

- highest ill-health based worklessness following the pandemic for decades

- a 'missing million' of workers who have left the labour market

- the largest fall in real pay on record

Taken together it remains an incredibly tough market in which to recruit.

Economic growth has also stalled, and so there is little good news on the horizon.
