The latest Reed Job Index from the online recruiter showed that July 2013 is up 17% year on year.
But job opportunities in the construction and property sector increased by 92% on July 2012.
James Reed, chairman of reed.co.uk, said: “The jobs market is one of the first indicators of the health of the economy and it has shown continued growth during 2013.
“We are now seeing wider signs that the UK is on the road to recovery and these numbers underline that.
“It will be interesting to see how these figures move during the course of the year, as the influence of Government support through schemes such as Help to Buy becomes clearer.”
