		</div><p>Half of Britain’s professionals are planning to look for a new job due to fears of rocketing mortgage bills sparked by the UK chancellor’s mini-Budget last week, according to new research.</p>
<p>A survey of 2,300 workers by jobs site CV-Library found 49.6 per cent will now actively look for a new role with a higher salary following days of economic turmoil.</p>
<p>Some 28 per cent reported they were already looking for a new job, but 8.6 per cent said the British government’s plans made them want to sit tight and stay where they are.</p>
<p>A significant 59 per cent felt a weak pound would adversely affect their employer and a further 68 per cent were worried about their job security as a result.</p>
<p>Only 13.8 per cent said rising interest rates had no bearing on their decision to look for a new job, and they will make no changes.</p>
<p>An overwhelming three quarters of those surveyed felt the reversal of the 1.25 per cent National Insurance increase in November is not a big enough step to make a difference to their income versus their current rising living costs.</p>
<p>Lee Biggins, chief executive of CV-Library, said: “UK professionals are taking a clear stand and while they cannot control the Government’s decision or the economic crisis, they’re clearly feeling fearful and are prepared to take their own actions to protect their finances.</p>
<p>“An increased number of candidates in the current job market is undoubtedly a good thing for recruiters who’ve struggled to hire since the pandemic, and for the economy, but it’s not a solution to the overall crisis.</p>
<p>“Time is of the essence and the Government needs to take immediate action to address spiralling inflation and calm both the alarming spike in interest rates and the British public.”</p>
