Britain's employment sector continued its recovery in the aftermath of the global economic downturn by performing strongly last month, new research has shown.

According to the latest Report on Jobs from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG, pay awards rose at their highest rate for three quarters last month for full-time employees, while their temporary counterparts enjoyed wage inflation at its best level for a year.

Meanwhile, the study also showed that permanent staff appointments increased at a "strong and accelerated" rate throughout April as demand for such workers from organisations went up.

Kevin Green, chief executive at the REC, said there is now a "clear split" in the UK's labour market as "public sector employment is radically slowing while there is growth in the private sector, confirming that we are now in a two-speed jobs market".

Recently, Matt Duffy of Lorica recently commented that employees are beginning to take greater notice of the benefit packages on offer from their companies.
