I suppose you cannot see the potential flaw in your comment.
I am not being nasty or snide but it stands out like a sore thumb!

So, are there more jobs? Or just more people asking?

If the latter, what does that suggest to you?

Definitely more jobs - one company a supplier to Asda has increased turnover from 1bn to 3bn in the last 4 years and are expecting similar growth over the next three years. Another is a food manufacturer MBO linked to Booth's - both offered through connections in each firm.

Work is out there I myself am looking for someone - I am going to offer today to someone who came through this very forum. There is definitely more activity in the job market at all levels IMO. This is in the grimey north!!

And are those jobs all full-time and paying a living wage?

I think we'll make a lethal partnership after I've sorted your politics out. 5.8955078125:5
