EmploymentCrossing Indicates Bright Jobs Market Reporting Above 2 Million Active Openings

July 11, 2013   |    PDF version

The latest jobs data released by EmploymentCrossing reports 2,158,923 active openings in the U.S. at a time, when much noise has been created about company layoffs. The job opening research institution claims, "more jobs will be added to the U.S. jobs market in the latter half of 2013, following the trend that started June onwards." This could help lower the employment rate that is still hovering above 7 per cent.

EmploymentCrossing's report supports a recent study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showing substantial employment rises in June in the leisure and hospitality industry, professional and business services, the health care industry, financial activities and retail trade. The BLS report informed that the total non-farm payroll employment increased by 195,000 in June. While this is still far from the 360,000 jobs require to be created each month, the pace is picking up.

Several people are complaining that companies from Wal-Mart to General Motors to PepsiCo, companies are increasingly hiring temporary staff and turning to a larger universe of freelancers, consultants and contract workers. But are clearly neglecting companies like Advanced Disposal Services that are relocating its corporate headquarters, thereby creating additional payroll jobs. Advanced Disposal Services is estimated to create 85 new jobs in Florida's St. Johns County in the near future. Concurrently, the government is also doing its bit. Recently an additional $100,000 was granted in federal funding for Columbiana County's summer work program. This will help to keep 231 young people on their jobs for a longer span.

Foreign investments have also given impetus to jobs creation in the U.S. Investments by Indian companies in the U.S. has touched a record $ 11 billion and in the process created more than 100,000 jobs. The U.S. economy is benefiting from its bilateral and business relationship with India and the report titled, 'Investing in America, How India Helps Create American Jobs' by the US India Business Council, due to be released during the USIBC' 38th Anniversary Leadership Summit on 11 July will render the details.

Harrison Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of EmploymentCrossing says, "Given the current trend in the jobs market, the target of bringing the unemployment rate down to 6 percent, over the next three years, now seems possible."
