From the BBC Scotland website today:
‘Starting salaries in Scotland have gone up at their quickest rate in more than three years, according to a survey of recruitment agencies. The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) said increasing competition for “good quality staff” meant employers were willing to pay more to attract the right people.’

I’ve just posted a longer piece explaining why this is the kind of evidence we can trust in contrast to the GDP and GERS estimates regularly used to undermine confidence in Scotland. It’s here:
More real evidence of economic strength: number of Scots getting permanent jobs has ‘risen sharply.’
