Job security is high on agenda
Public sector workers are more likely to accept a pay cut since the general election and move to another region to keep their job
A survey of 1,600 people looking for jobs in public sector organisations showed that two-thirds would be willing to have their pay reduced, compared with one in five just before the election.
Recruitment website Totaljobs.com said its research also revealed the beginnings of a "migration" from areas where public sector employment has been high. One in four public sector jobseekers said job security was the most important issue for them, ahead of pay and conditions.
