  1. Skills jobseekers need in the modern labour market Paul Bivand Associate Director of Analysis & Statistics Inclusion

  2. What is the shape of the labour market as recession ebbs? • Analysed recruitment patterns in London using Labour Force Survey • Since 2011, 1.4 million people starting new jobs in London • 600,000 a year – on average • 225,000 a year in Central London • 170,000 a year in the rest of Inner London • 205,000 a year in Outer London

  3. The pattern by occupation

  4. The pattern by skill level

  5. Qualification level of the average recruit

  6. Patterns of recruitment • Some occupation groups for recruitment are high turnover – job growth is lower • Elementary jobs • Sales and customer service • But, employers are recruiting at above entry level • More than half of recruits for elementary jobs have Level 3 (+) • Same for Caring etc, Sales & customer services in Central and Inner London

  7. Employment rates by qualification

  8. Qualifications of employed and workless

  9. Vacancy trends • ONS vacancy survey doesn’t give London figures • Jobcentre vacancy figures ended November 2012 • Universal Jobmatch figures started straight after

  10. Jobcentre vacancies to November 2012

  11. Universal Jobmatch vacancies in London

  12. JCP new vacancies – ratio to new JSA claims (to Nov 2012)

  13. Same measure for occupations

  14. And for local authorities

  15. Longer term changes • We’ve looked at changes in both the numbers employed and in the pay levels • Reflecting employer responses to their labour market • 5 years up to classification change in 2011 • Occupations coloured by skill level of recruits

  16. Next steps • Not simply a story of employment growth only for highly skilled • But occupation match to skill level confused by: • Students working in elementary and sales • Part-time jobs at similar levels • Part-timers often working below their own skill level
