According to the survey by recruitment specialist Poolia, the report also shows a third of respondents claim their earning capacity had increased during 2010 through a mix of more working hours, a pay rise or a promotion, while a further 40% say their pay has remain unchanged.
Meanwhile, 60% of respondents planning to study or sit for a professional qualification in 2011.
Gavin Warner, Poolia’s operations director, says: “Our customers are telling us that they are likely to maintain temporary levels going into 2011, especially in financial services, retail and banking, which means anyone with skills and experience who is able to build flexibility into their work structure will be well placed to find great short-term opportunities in the coming year.”
