Advertising and media job vacancies have picked up since last month but there are still only half as many as there were at the same time last year, according to a survey of the industry.
According to jobs firm Olivier, there were 9.6% more advertising and media jobs advertised online during August than July. However, they were still 50.3% down on the same month a year ago.
Of the 16 sectors that Olivier monitors, advertising and media was second only to transport (up 19.2%) in terms of month-on-month improvement.
Meanwhile, in the annual comparisons, admin was the worst off sector (down 65% on a year before) while healthcare was best off (down 17%).
