High Paying Jobs For Business Majors
In the UK in July, small businesses with one to nine employees had 4, 800 fewer job vacancies nationally. That’s a monthly decrease of 3.31% to 142, 200 vacancies compared to the previous official benchmark of 147, 000 in June’s Vacancy Survey, published by the Office for National Statistics.*
Twelve out of the 13 sectors covered by the Intuit Small Business Index posted fewer job vacancies in July compared to June.
Finance and insurance (UK SIC K) was the only sector to grow, creating 100 new job opportunities in small businesses — a monthly increase of 0.60% to a total of 6, 600 vacancies nationwide. This sector includes pension funds and consumer credit businesses as well as insurance companies.
Job Vacancies Rose 22% From May To June: Report
Another sector which contributed to the overall decline in small business job vacancies in July was the real estate sector (UK SIC L). There are currently 5, 000 vacancies in this sector, which is 300 fewer than in June — a monthly decrease of 5.01%. This is the fastest rate of decline across all sectors. Businesses in this sector are involved in the buying, selling and leasing of land, homes and buildings.
Small business job vacancies were down in all four UK nations in July, with Northern Ireland seeing the fastest rate of decline:
Ufuk Akcigit, the Arnold C. Harberger Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, said: “In October 2022, UK inflation reached its peak at 11.1%. Since then, it has been on a slow decline and dropped to 7.9% in July 2023. However, this figure remains significantly higher than the Bank of England's target of 2%. To combat inflation, the Bank of England has continuously raised the Bank Rate, reaching a 15-year high of 5% in July 2023.

“Unfortunately, this high inflationary environment, coupled with rising interest rates, can create challenges for small businesses and their access to credit. The tightening credit conditions and fragile demand have likely contributed to the 3.31% contraction in job vacancies for firms with 1-9 employees in July compared to the previous month, as reported by the Intuit Small Business Index. This decline marks the sixth consecutive month of contraction.
“According to the Index, every sector except finance and insurance has experienced a contraction in July. The tightening credit conditions have adversely affected the housing market, leading to a significant decline in house prices. Accordingly, the real estate sector recorded the fastest contraction in small business job vacancies, with a fall of 5.01% in July.
“In June, the CPI inflation reached 7.9%, with the highest inflationary pressure seen in the ‘food and beverages’ category, reaching 17.4%. This sharp increase in inflation was reflected in the sector's performance, which experienced a 4.66% decline in job vacancies, making it the second-fastest contraction observed in the Index.

“Analysing different regions, the Intuit Small Business Index revealed that all four UK nations experienced a contraction in small business job vacancies, with Northern Ireland being the hardest hit, with a 5.65% drop. This contraction erased the gains seen in the previous month, bringing job vacancies in Northern Ireland back to levels similar to when the Index was launched in March 2023. Additionally, Scotland saw a significant decline in job vacancies, with a net loss of 400.
“The simultaneous contraction in job vacancies across all regions and most sectors indicates the impact that tighter credit conditions and decreased consumer demand are having on some small businesses. Given the crucial role of small businesses in the UK economy, especially in terms of their sheer number and their employment, we encourage policymakers to remain focused on their business health.”

The Intuit Small Business Index is a timely new measure of small business employment and hiring in the UK, the US and Canada. The Index launched in March 2023 and is updated monthly. The Index uses purpose-built economic models to normalise anonymised data to reflect the general population of small businesses in each country; it is not a reflection of Intuit’s business. The Index was developed in collaboration with leading economist Professor Ufuk Akcigit and an international team of researchers and academics.
The Intuit Small Business Index creates aggregated data outputs from a sample of anonymised Online Payroll customer records which are calibrated using statistical methods to create modelled results which better reflect the general population of small businesses in each country, as represented by published official statistics. Statistical adjustment ensures the Index truly reflects employment and job vacancy changes rather than trends in the customer base.

Total and monthly changes in employment and job vacancies have been rounded to the nearest hundred. Monthly changes and growth rates are calculated before total employment or job vacancy values are rounded. Rates have been rounded to the nearest hundredth.
The Index’s data insights are seasonally adjusted to limit the effect of seasonal patterns in employment and hiring throughout the year, which lead to regular fluctuations in workforce growth and contraction.
The Index produces a monthly prediction of employment growth rates by country, region, and sector. In order to translate these growth rates into the number of jobs/vacancies gained or lost, the growth rates are multiplied by the prior month’s predicted employment levels, except during the months when official statistics are published. During those months, the latest official employment levels that have been reported are used in the calculation instead of the Index’s prior month’s predicted employment levels. As a result, the Index’s predicted total employment levels may at times
