This is for January, several things to be taken into account:
In the current climate people are not as inclined to move/winter holiday as much as they might have done.
Projects currently funded are shorter, i.e. finishing up in Jan/Feb.
Or new project are not kicking off during the year.
Although the number of confirmed permanent job offers made within the industry fell by just 2% in January compared to December 2010, the fall in demand for contractors is quite startling, considering how much stability has returned to the permanent jobs market.
really? I've usually thought more permanents means less contractors needed anyway.
