''2 mln new jobs by 2017''

Here is an article I read today that concerns most of us:



Students and graduates worried about their future careers will be buoyed by the news two million jobs will be created over the next 10 years.

A report by UK Commission for Employment and Skill claims there will be 1.8 million new jobs in business, education and other services such as computing by 2017.

Education roles will account for 500,000 jobs and 1.3 million will be in business and other services while another 200,000 will be in other industries.

These will add to the 11.5 million jobs already available, taking the total number of paid positions to 13.5 million.

Skills Secretary John Denham said: "We must not lose sight of the future needs of our economy and do all we can to help people get the secure career jobs they want and need in the industries where growth will be the strongest in the coming years."
