If you’re a job seeker in the UK market, especially as a female for whom job prospects, trends, and the market can be somewhat overwhelming and frankly, discouraging, Cambridge is a shining star for you!
According to a study done by the European search engine Adzuna, Cambridge is the best place to get a job in the UK. As a matter of fact, the same study showed that for every one jobseeker, there are approxamitely ten job opportunities available. This can be attributed to the growth in a number of sectors including tech, engineering, etc. The significant growth marks the economic recovery of the country where the overall state of the region’s economy has improved.
Since science and technology fields are the main sectors where the jobs are available, the salaries are impressive and with the supply largely exceeding the demand, the benefits and draws of the jobs are also worth jumping at. In addition, these sectors are largely male driven so for female jobseekers, these jobs have all doors open for you! You are diamonds in the rough and there are many employers who will fight for you as an employee.
This may seem too good to be true, and you are right, there are definitely some catches/issues. With the increase in wages and jobs, there has also been a parallel increase in the price of houses and cost of living in the area. If you are looking to buy a place, beware because the average house costs over 7 times the amount of the average wage in the area which happens to be 12 times the national average wage.
Overall, Cambridge boasts lots of opportunity for students, professionals, and anyone in between. The number of jobs available continues to increase which means that your dream job could await you in Cambridge.
