The career market place is finding far better,
Pandora Jewellery Sale, but – as any jobseeker knows – there’s still plenty of competition out there for any open position.
The government reported Wednesday that there were 3.1 million career openings in March, up slightly from the previous month. About 4 million people were hired in March, also a slight increase over the previous month.
Still,
Pandora Leather Bracelet, the Economic Policy Institute reports that there continues to be more than four jobseekers for every work opening.
For unemployed people,
Pandora Kette, those are a lot far better odds than back in July of 2009,
Tiffany Outlet First Pay attention, where there were nearly 7 unemployed people for every work opening, according to EPI's calculations. But it’s still a far cry from the good old days. In December of 2000, the EPI notes, there was pretty significantly a work available for everyone who was looking for one.
There was another promising piece of news in the government report: Yet again in March, more people quit their jobs than were laid off.
EPI analyst Heidi Shierholz said noted that the likelihood of being laid off has declined dramatically since the height of the recession.
“Workers with a work today are no more likely to face a layoff than they were before the recession started — in fact, workers today are a little bit less likely to face a layoff than they were before the recession started,” she wrote in a brief released Wednesday.
