added: 2009-04-15



The UK Index fell by seven points in March as online demand dropped from the seasonally-elevated level seen in February

- Year-on-year, the Index fell by 41%, or 77 points. This is the fifth straight month that the Index has fallen on a yearly basis

- In March, the dip was driven by fewer job opportunities in the legal; marketing; and healthcare sectors

- Online recruitment activity increased most for education workers and the sector showed positive year-on-year growth. Opportunities in production also grew in March

- Demand fell for most occupational groups, with skilled agricultural workers; professionals; and craft and related workers hit hardest

- The majority of UK regions suffered a decline. Scotland experienced the greatest decline; all regions saw an annual fall in demand
