A new study from CMC Markets analysed monthly Google searches using Ahrefs for jobs within the financial industry to see which career is the most in demand.
It also extracted the number of UK-based listings for each finance role from the job site Indeed during December 2022.
In order from first to 10th, the most searched job titles were: auditor, actuary, corporate banking, bank teller, forensic accounting, compliance officer, client advisor, loan officer, branch manager and risk manager.
Michael Hewson, Chief Market Analyst at CMC Markets, said: “Despite the scarcity of jobs in some industries, it seems that there is a noticeable interest within different sectors of the finance world. It is interesting to see that a large proportion of this number is made up of searches related to the banking sector. And as a whole, financial careers are being searched for 2,935,840 times per month on Google.
“This number is definitely something to keep an eye on as we approach the new year, as people may look to seek new opportunities in 2023.”
