Across the region, the public sector, defence & community sector saw the most significant decline, at -8%, with management & consulting and legal roles the only others in negative territory, both at -3%.
Craft and related workers were the job roles with the most increase in online recruitment activity at 22%, although services and sales workers have the highest MEI reading of all sectors.
