LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Bank of Scotland: Candidate availability 'on the rise'  Those on the lookout for employment opportunities might have noted recent data from Bank of Scotland regarding people's long-term job priorities. The organisation found there was a sharp rise in the number of people keen to secure work positions in the month of June, which has caused its headline index to reach a level of 49.4, dropping below the no-change threshold for the first time in seven months. Donald MacRae, chief economist at the bank, said: "Despite June's overall decline, the rise in candidate availability may point to a transitional phase in the Scottish labour market recovery, rather than outright deterioration." The figures also showed that demand for temporary workers went up for the eighth month in succession. Recently, Duncan Higgins, senior analyst at Caxton FX, said that conditions in the UK economy could be improving, after the Office for National Statistics revealed that 20,800 fewer people claimed unemployment benefit in June when compared with May.
