July 24, 2013   |    PDF version

Recruiters have posted more than 500,000 new openings on EmploymentCrossing in the past week. This shows that a significant shift is taking place in the job market that has been slowly recovering since June.

As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs have averaged nearly 3.8 million since the beginning of 2013. While the job market had gone through its share of ups and downs, the increase in the job turnover since June is showing staying power. Presently, the U.S. "quit rate" has risen to the highest level in four years, which indicates that the jobs market is showing promise for employees, companies and the economy. Sophia Koropeckyj, Economist at Moody's Economy.com says, "When people change jobs, they (usually) change to better jobs and change to higher-paying jobs."

Two months back jobseekers were forced to accept lesser paying jobs than those before the recession. But, the present 'quit rate' indicates an overturn suggesting that people are getting better jobs and higher pays. Also until recently, many employers had sought to limit the number of staff clocking 30 hours per week to minimize the ObamaCare costs, but with the Treasury Department announcing a delay in the implementation of the "employer mandate" under the Affordable Care Act until January 2015, employers are being incentivized to retain as well as hire new full time workers for the time being. So, a combination of many factors is leading to a growth in jobs in America.
