Written by Kirsty Barkle, Senior Recruitment Account Manager
This week we discussed several factors to consider when attracting talent from home. So I thought I’d follow up with a few stats I think that recruiters ought to know. All figures show weekly commercial radio listening from RAJAR’s Q4, 2019 report unless otherwise stated.
- 35 million people listen to commercial radio every week
- 31% of all on-demand music streaming is consumed by 15-24 year olds (Midas, 2019)
- 22 million people listen at home each week – this has increased in recent weeks as everyone is spending a lot more time at home
- 2.4 million (69%) 15-19 year olds listen each week
- 2.6 million (62%) 20-24 year olds listen each week
- 1.1 million (64%) unemployed people listen each week
- 2.8 million (63%) people in full-time education listen each week
- 2.1 million owners and/or drivers of commercial vehicles listen every week, that makes them 79% more likely than average to do so
- 5 million (67%) ABC1 adults aged 35-64 listen each week
- 14 million parents listen each week – key influencers of their children
