Is it an employees market now?

amongst other articles this is one from the BBC today about how so many industries are struggling to find staff. From my own personal perspective which I put a thread on, I updated my CV and was taken aback how many interview offers I received in a short space of time. This was never the case before. The job offer I have accepted I expected to get maybe 5k more but ended up getting offered £10k more then my current salary, the jobs out there seem to be offering better wages at last as well although rising inflation will balance that out soon enough.
Anyone else finding the same and at last the market favours the job seekers??

The last Biotech company where my OH was working last year, were paying her the equivalent of £13 PH as an MSc qualified research scientist with twenty years experience.I wonder why nobody wants to leave what they currently do for one of his horrible jobs.

And that's a good wage for the industry. Most get the absolute bare minimum £8.21 an hour.I wonder why nobody wants to leave what they currently do for one of his horrible jobs.

The haulage industry is a 100k short of drivers I'm in the motor trade tech and MOT tester we have a huge shortage mainly caused by the companies tbf.
Poor base pay with top ups via bonuses in hitting target via hours sold or up sells. A basic tech and tester can earn more with the bonuses than a senior tech is on so there is a huge shortage of diag/senior/master techs.
Hardly any new blood entering the trade I'm 29 and I'm the 2nd youngest workers out of 18 techs between the 2 brands. It's also a extremely unforgiving job long hours always get blamed for something cars not getting easier etc etc.
On top of that the mot side is lossing tester every year huge shortage there too.
Autorecruit UK leading temp contract company is crying out for techs and testers ATM with high pay rates £16 per hour upwards.
It's going to get worse as the 50+ age group techs are very shortly going too leave and or have and there just isn't the numbers coming in. I'm 29 and looking to get out now or move to contracting.

We've just been on our first "holiday" for 18 months, a short UK city break. Nearly every pub and restaurant we passed was advertising for staff, and everywhere we ate the servers were young British kids with zero experience. One lad was on a trial shift, and had clearly not been shown even how to take an apple pay payment.
I know a young sous chef, on furlough, having the time of his life, doesn't need to work till August.
A local niche food retailer was accused publicly of poaching staff by a pub owner because he took on their Head Chef, on decent hours and decent money after the pub had f*cked him over for years.
I think it's great that people now have better choices but those of us who've seen 15% inflation will also wonder if we're about to get it again.

Really good to see our next generation actually going out and doing these jobs when they might not have previously. I know a young sous chef, on furlough, having the time of his life, doesn't need to work till August.

They will be up to speed quickly enough.
I wish someone would let my employer know, all the experience is walking out the door as we're being offered better terms elsewhere.
My current employers point of view is that they 'wont let us (the technicians) hold them to ransom'. And refuse to improve the terms of employment.
This is a skilled role overhauling gas turbine engines, yet they want to pay peanuts because 'we're privileged to work in nice part of the country'.
So far to fill the gaps they have hired a storeman and a restaurant manager. Trying to teach get them up to speed is very difficult, we're trying to teach them an apprenticeships worth of knowledge on the job in a short space of time. It's had the expected results.

I work in a service industry that brings in lots of entry level and junior graduates and college level recruits each year. there are almost none with 1-2y experience on the market, and those people have in their ranks they are holding onto for dear life. We've lost a full year of intake of our product, which is people. Having to pivot our hiring and approach as a result.
