ANY LIFE OUT THERE?

摘要

Did you know that 50% of your colleagues - or employees - are looking for a new job? Building's latest research reveals that half of those working for contractors want to switch jobs in the next 12 months. It's easy to see why - our 2011 contractors' salary survey compiled by Hays Construction shows that over the past 12 months most pay packets have remained static. As the construction recession drags on - with Experian saying the sector will shrink 3% in 2011 and even the mighty Laing O'Rourke reporting a 50% fall in pre-tax profit in August - some 49% of employers told us they had not offered anyone a pay rise in the year to date. So this year's tables show there have been a handful of small rises for certain roles and plenty of falls, although at least the drops are less dramatic overall than in 2010.
