Bradford is the hardest city in the country to find a job, according to new research.
For every vacancy in the city, almost eight people apply for the post, research for Jobs site Adzuna has revealed. Cambridge remains the UK's top place to find a job, with only 0.34 jobseekers per vacancy, followed by Guildford and Exeter , however, Bradford has on average 7.94 jobseekers per vacancy. Meanwhile, advertised salaries have fallen slightly for the first time since last October as the jobs market remains flat, the research said.
Andrew Hunter , co-founder of Adzuna, said: 'Hopes that a return to growth would result in greater confidence in hiring were not reflected in job vacancies in May, which remained essentially flat. However, there were slight increases in roles in Travel, Teaching and Manufacturing - areas where there have been some entrenched staff shortages.
