EMPLOYMENT BRIEFS
Positive Recovery
Northern Ireland’s economic recovery remains in positives territory for most key balances, according the latest Quarterly Economic Survey released this week by Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NI Chamber) and business advisors BDO.
The survey, made up of responses from over 300 local businesses, reveals that more businesses are reporting an increase in local sales, exports and employment for the fourth quarter of 2014 than those reporting a fall.
The survey revealed that export sales and orders appear to be strengthening for local businesses with improving investment intentions and the percentage of firms trying to recruit staff increasing.
Ann McGregor, chief executive of NI Chamber, said: “Critical to private sector growth and economic recovery in 2015 is having the infrastructure and skills to allow businesses to develop and flourish.”
