Britain's booming jobs market is showing signs of slowing as it finally succumbs to Brexit angst.

According to data from the Office for National Statistics, there were about 827,000 job vacancies between April and June - 9,000 fewer than a year earlier and 19,000 fewer than for the three months to March.

This slowdown could signal that businesses are becoming more cautious on hiring in the run-up to October 31 when Boris Johnson has promised that the UK will leave the EU.

Nevertheless, it is still one of the easiest times in recent years to look for work, and some sectors are recruiting more workers than others.

So if you’re thinking about a new job or fancy a career change, which sectors should you be looking at?

Information Technology

It’s no surprise that candidates with strong IT skills are in high demand: Britain’s technology sector is booming, and employers are trying to fill the gaps in their expanding workforces.

According to job website Adzuna, there were 90,899 advertised job vacancies in the IT sector in January - more than any other industry.

Not only are technology workers in high demand, but they are able to command high salaries, with an average advertised salary on Adzuna for IT workers of £52,000, 52pc higher than the national average advertised salary of £34,204.
