Regulatory change to lead to job growth: report
The changing financial services landscape looks promising for job growth, particularly in the risk area where prospective employees can cash in on tighter regulations.
Such is the forecast from this quarter's Hudson Report, which shows employers are optimistic about the first quarter of 2015, despite sluggish economic growth.
Almost 20 per cent of employers are looking to hire in NSW early next year, with financial services changes behind the 9.4 per cent spike, according to the report.
It described the financial services realm as a transformative landscape in which employees can benefit from regulatory change.
"Those professionals with exposure to agile environments are highly sought after as are compliance and risk professionals who can help organisations navigate the plethora of regulatory change on the horizon," Hudson Australia executive general manager, Dean Davidson.
