The number of vacancies climbed to 7,905 from 7,371 a year ago, with a 25 percent gain in people looking for a new role, recruitment firm Morgan McKinley in London said in a statement today. Those securing new jobs received an average salary increase of 19 percent, after a 17 percent gain in August.
The U.K. economy grew at a stronger pace than initially estimated in the second quarter, with unemployment dropping to the lowest in six years in the three months through July. With the euro-region economy stalling, people from across Europe are looking for jobs in London, according to Morgan McKinley. U.K. financial-services firms are seen adding some 28,000 jobs this year, according to the Confederation of British Industry.
"There is continued confidence within the financial- services sector," Hakan Enver, operations director at Morgan McKinley Financial Services, said in the statement. "There are tremendous opportunities for people seeking jobs in London."
