By the time you remove the clearly fake jobs to keep recruitment departments or recruiters „up to speed and sharp for when they want to recruit“ (yes that is a real quite from a firm I was contracted to) then its probably a low lower than it seems.
Hey well, raising minimum wage continuously to ensure that any medium to small business can’t employ as many people, rather than addressing the actual issues around the costs of existence, will do that to an already struggling country.
Who woulda guessed the easy, short-term solution would backfire?
Had a look on indeed the other day and half the listings were either for the army or for deliveroo. Like, multiple deliveroo listings in a row. Trying to get a job in these conditions is hell.
For context, this trend is consistent across most of Europe, except the UK has far more vacancies than anywhere else.
France’s latest data is from November 2025 with 208k openings, vs 301k in Nov 2021.
Germany has 598k vacancies in Jan 2026, vs 566k in Jan 2021.
Spain has 35k in Dec 2025, vs 35k in Dec 2021
Also, the UK has 2.3 job seekers per vacancy, those numbers are 15 for France, 5 for Germany, and 70 for Spain.
