Job prospects in Yorkshire

 

Yorkshire is a good place to be looking for work.

In the last few months there have been lots of vacancies in Yorkshire for carpenters, joiners, electricians, plumbers and bricklayers. The construction industry also seems to need more managers and clerical workers. Jobcentre Plus reports that employers are having difficulty finding good people for all these kinds of jobs.

Some people think that there will be fewer jobs in Yorkshire's construction industry after 2004, but it is also true that a lot of construction workers are coming up to retirement age so that there should still be opportunities in this industry. National shortages, particularly in the south, are so great that if you are prepared to travel there are well-paid jobs in the construction industry. It may well be worth considering this as a short-term option to get experience.

  The Construction Industry
The Railway Industry   

There were plenty of jobs available on the railways last year, for example track maintenance workers, drivers and control room operators. People with engineering skills are still wanted in the rail industry.
