Election brings hope of an upturn in fortune for the job market

With election polls pointing towards a change of government this week, a survey of senior executives by management careers site TheLadders.co.uk has found that 64% are optimistic that a change of government will bring improvements to the job market.

500 senior management employees from the UKs leading companies were asked a series of questions on the job market and politics and the results found that the party that best represented the needs of the job seeker was the Conservatives (37%), followed by Labour (30%) and the Liberal Democrats (19%). Although the Liberal Democrats fared less well, their economic spokesperson Vince Cable certainly made an impression with business people – he was voted the politician most senior managers would like to hire for their business.
