Business Administration

Sector Outlook Over two million people are employed in a variety of business administration roles but due to the impact of technology in the work place the sector is projected to see a loss of almost 400,000 jobs. According to job search engine JobisJob the past 12 months has seen already seen a gradual decline in the number of business administration vacancies available but companies such as Knowledge, Spirit Resourcing and Grey Seal Recruitment are among the top companies hiring for the sector with the greatest number of job opportunities being on offer with the National Apprenticeship Service. More vacancies are available in the south of England so you should find more opportunity if you are prepared to move. However, new businesses are appearing in the north around cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. Large firms such as the supermarket ASDA, hair product company GHD and electronic games publisher Rockstar have also taken the decision to locate their head offices to Leeds. Another bit of good news is that if you are prepared to develop your skills to a higher level, you will have a better chance of finding the job you want. In fact employment opportunities for people who can offer additional skills such as customer care, ICT or knowledge of a language are predicated to rise. In contrast employees with a low level of skill are likely to experience job cuts in large organisations such as the Health Service. Overall the sector is large enough to continue providing a significant number of jobs especially for employees who are willing to use the implementation of new technology to work remotely.
