Not only but also

Not only are business-sponsored placements becoming more common, the government is investing money and aiming to recruit volunteers.

Do you consider the second clause incomplete or ungrammatical?
  

Top answer

Not only are business-sponsored placements becoming more common, but also the government is investing money and aiming to recruit volunteers. It is missing the "but also" conjunction. Conjunctions are required between independent clauses.

The link does not use "but also". You previously mentioned that we need it.

It is a title. Titles and headlines often omit words to save space.
