The gaming industry has become one of the UK’s top employers during the pandemic — but the East of England lags behind other parts of the UK when it comes to job vacancies in the sector, according to a survey.
A report from global recruiter Robert Walters and data provider Vacancysoft entited Gaming: Perfect Play for Growth reveals in the last year alone there has been a 20% rise in job vacancies in the sector — and this is predicted to increase threefold over the next five years.
Top of the table is Greater London at 28% of vacancies, followed by the South East at 23% and North East England at 17.71%. The East of England had just under a 5% share.
