Half of London firms are hiring
BRITAIN’S booming recovery is encouraging firms to take on more staff, driving down unemployment and further reinforcing the growth spurt, according to a PwC survey yesterday.
Fifty-five per cent of London businesses are planning to take on employees compared to 38 per cent across the whole country – almost three times the 13 per cent who will lay off staff. And those workers should start getting better off – 31 per cent of businesses plan to increase pay for their employees.
