‘New Year, New Job’ Drives UK to World’s Fourth-Biggest January Spike in Job Searches as reported by Buzz..

Britain began 2017 with the world’s fourth sharpest spike in the number of people looking for a new job, according to data published today by the global job site Indeed.
The number of Britons hunting for jobs on Indeed – the world’s biggest job site – rocketed by 64% in January compared to the 2016 average, not far behind the 72% surge seen in France.
While “find a new job” frequently rivals pledges to quit smoking and join a gym as the most universal of New Year’s Resolutions, Britons’ jobseeking fervour at the start of 2017 far outstripped that seen in many other major economies.
