 As Britain continues to slowly but surely emerge from the depths of the recession, finance jobs in London are sure to start to become more widely available.Ever since the Lehman Brothers' banking collapse of September 2008, jobs in most sectors of the country's jobs market have struggled to return to their pre-recession levels of fluidity. And few areas suffered as much as the finance jobs arena as the world's banking system endured a period of economic downturn the likes of which had not been seen since the Great Depression some 80 years ago. Good news for older workers However, a recent report by the Confederation for British Industry (CBI) suggests that employment prospects for professionals in the capital, along with the rest of Britain, are starting to pick up again. Indeed, the CBI’ curly s Ready to Grow: Business Priorities for Education and Skills report, even hints at the fact that there may not be enough people with the right skills to successfully fill the amount of vacancies that will become available in the near future. Over half of the 694 companies questioned in the report indicated that they felt they might not be able to find the right candidate for their jobs because the competition for the most talented jobseekers will be so fierce. "As we move further into recovery and businesses plan for growth, the demand for people with high-quality skills and qualifications will intensify," said CBI director-general Richard Lambert. Meanwhile, even better news for older jobseekers is the results of Friends Provident and the Future Foundation's Visions of Britain 2020 study, which was published in May. This indicates that workers between the ages of 55 and 70 will become the most in-demand age group for employers in the UK over the next ten years as experience and knowledge are firms' most sought-after qualities as they seek to play it safe with recruitment policies. Therefore, the trends of the job market in Britain seen over recent times - where young and up-and-coming graduate candidates have been favoured in selection processes - could be about to reverse. Are there finance jobs out there? Despite the ongoing problems in the world's financial markets - such as the fiscal crisis in the eurozone which has brought nations such as Greece, Spain and Portugal to their knees in the last few months - finance jobs in London and the UK as a whole are out there for you. There are always jobs available for the best candidates and here at Forties People we are here to help you find the role you deserve. Posted by James Strang
