UK firms struggle to find employees – even before Brexit bites


Snapshot of the jobs market by Recruitment and Employment Confederation finds there are fewer people available to fill vacancies

That message was clearly evident after Samsung's unveiling of its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4. Despite a  Broadway-styled launch held in Radio City Music Hall , the  new product received somewhat mixed reviews . In fact, in its IT-crazed home country of South Korea, the  critics came out in full force  and Samsung's stock price dropped nearly 3%.
