What happened to the job market in 2011?

Well, we've an idea - at least for the countryside sector. 
We've just completed the analysis of the vacancies we advertised during 2011.  Nothing too earth shattering, here are the main outlines:

• Slightly fewer available posts than 2010.
• Most vacancies were with charities and non-profit making employers.
• The number for public sector employers fell again.  
• No significant change in numbers of the main CJS type of job roles (rangers, ecologists, countryside officers and environmental educators).
• Increase in the number of promotional posts, membership recruiters and similar.
• Increase in the number of trainee and apprenticeships available.
• More short or fixed term contracts and 
• Fewer full time permanent posts.
