New research dispels the myth that the Web is the domain of graduates and first jobbers.
Research from totaljobs.com found that 28% of online jobseekers are aged 40 and above, whilst the average age of online jobseekers is 34.
The survey, completed by 9745 jobseekers, also found that over a third of online jobseekers are looking for work at management level or above. More than one in ten are senior managers, whilst around 100 respondents are CEO or company owner level.
Online jobseekers’ salaries are also on the increase. Over a fifth now earn upwards of £40,000 – an increase of 11% from last year. The average salary for jobseekers on the Internet overall is £24,460.
Seperate research commissioned by reed.co.uk and conducted by the independent British Market Research Bureau, found that one in ten of the 1600 adults questioned found work through the Internet over last five years.
