Trademe agrees

Demand for flexible workers up

The number of permanent job vacancies has gone backwards at a rate of knots over the past year. In contrast, demand for part-time & contract workers has remained relatively robust, representing 18% and 19% of all advertised jobs on Trade Me Jobs respectively. With an uncertain outlook, it makes sense for employers to opt for a more flexible workforce. Ref. Trademe Jobs May Update newsletter, Fri 15/05/2009.
