Ngaire Moyes, UK Country Manager, LinkedIn said: “While economic uncertainty is likely to continue through 2023, it’s encouraging to see how optimistic the UK workforce is feeling, with up to 20 million considering a new role this year. Our platform data shows that there is opportunity out there for job seekers – particularly in areas that are tackling some of the UK’s greatest challenges such as climate change, cyber security, and business growth. With the labour market still relatively tight, companies will need to work hard to attract and retain talent in the months ahead.”
