“The UK’s economic recovery continues on the back of more solid growth indicators. This news will encourage jobseekers that the market is ripe for employment and send a message to risk-averse employers to step up recruitment. Christmas will provide a further boost to part time job opportunities as the retail and hospitality industries gear up for the busy festive trading period.”
