The job market in Dubai continues to improve and witnessed more than 20 per cent year-on-year growth in the first quarter of 2010, says a leading UAE recruitment firm.
"In Q1 2010, we recorded 21 per cent more vacancies in Dubai than in Q1 last year. For the first time in seven months, [we] registered a larger proportion of vacancies in Dubai compared to Abu Dhabi," Hasnain Qazi, Middle East Business Manager, Pathway Resourcing, told Emirates Business.
Such a considerable increase points to the fact that Dubai's economy is on the mend and appears to be growing reasonably. "This is a significant rise, and puts to bed rumours that Dubai economy is flat," said Qazi. "We have seen tangible evidence suggesting that the economy has already started to bounce back."
He said the growth in vacancies was across a wide spectrum of sectors, signalling a wider economic recovery.
