Businesses will continue to create jobs growth throughout 2018.
This year's long-awaited CBI/Pertemps Employment Trends Survey looks back at the UK's labour market in 2017 while looking forward to what the future might bring in the coming year.
"Businesses have had an awful lot to deal with in 2017, from the Apprenticeship Levy to concerns over IR35, yet have still remained lively in the recruitment market with growth occurring in most sectors, as predicted this time last year."
Tracy Evans, Group HR and quality director, Pertemps
