PwC: Financial Services could create over 250,000 new UK jobs **

(Jul. 22, 2013, London, /hereisthecity.com/) A recovering Financial Services sector bodes well for the overall state of the UK economy and job market. An efficiently-run and impactful financial services sector could create 265,000 new jobs whilst raising gross domestic product by 2-3% in the UK by 2020, according to a report conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) published Monday. Economists at PwC based their research on two contrasting scenarios: The first, which focuses on a sustainable environment with well-regulated growth, sees the manufacturing , retail and insurance industries all open up their job markets with the creation of 45,900, 41,600 and 22,300 new positions. A gloomier outlook is forecast in the second scenario, however, one that is based on a frail economy - both at home and internationally - and set against a regulatory backdrop that does little to encourage growth. Should the financial services industry perpetually languish, then PwC claim gross GDP would rise by a paltry 0.2% creating just 12,000 jobs.

Only one HR company appears on the 2013 Fortune Global 500 list *****

(Jul. 9, 2013, New York) Ranked No. 443, Adecco, with a revenue of US$26.391 billion in its fiscal 2012, makes it the only company on the 2013 Fortune Global 500 list. Randstad and ManpowerGroup, two companies that muscled their way into last year’s Global 500 list, are missing from this year’s list. Given the global economic downturn and the change to the average exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro in fiscal 2012, Adecco, Randstad, and ManpowerGroup have all witnessed a decline in their revenues in 2012 compared with the previous fiscal year. Although these three giants have reaped admirable operating profits, their figures have all shown double-digit drops. By contrast, the total revenue of this year’s Fortune Global 500 companies has risen by about 2.77% over last year. The revenue of the 500th company on this year’s list is about US$1.17 billion higher than that of last year’s 500th company, a fact that also led to the non-presence of Randstad and ManpowerGroup.

Employers that contribute toward their workers’ health plans typically pay about three-quarters of the premium.
