British companies stepped up advertising for jobs for the first time this year, a sign of strength in the labor market, data from Adzuna showed.
The jobs-search site said the number of vacancies rose 1.1% in July to 862,043. The number of people looking for work also increased, making it the most competitive market for hiring since the country was emerging from Covid-19 lockdowns in May 2021.
