This graph from the latest civil service employment statistics caught my eye. Overall, the number of civil servants is falling. However, looked at by what proportion of the civil service is at each level of seniority, we see that the proportion of jobs in the most senior roles is holding up and even increasing. It’s the more junior posts that are going at a disproportionately faster rate.
Add your comment...Please be polite, on topic and don't use multiple different names. Thanks!
Which, of course, could be because clerical data entry and paperkeeping jobs are becoming obsolete as online interaction becomes more prevalent...
And also because more junior posts are more likely to privatised / outsourced and therefore not be included in the statistics
