In addition, the number of people looking for new jobs in the sector rose by 22 per cent, the report showed.

Andrew Evans, managing director at Morgan McKinley, said that he also expects the number of people being recruited into jobs in the sector to rise this month, when compared to last year.

The report additionally revealed that the average salary for new workers in the financial services sector rose by six per cent in November, compared to October.
