The “LinkedIn Workforce Report” shows the hiring within the USA leveling off with a 1.1 percent drop in hiring in September. The holidays are on the way and this is all backwards.
There were three cities expanding their Tech hiring, Nashville, Charlotte and Las Vegas, in that order. The housing is more affordable in those job markets and is believed the reason for migration to these cities. That incentive will most likely wane over time no different than the escalation of housing costs in San Francisco and Seattle.
Outside of those three cities hiring is down by 1.1 percent in September. “LinkedIn” is a viable authority with 150 million members serving 20,000 USA companies with over 3 million job postings every month. Additionally, “LinkedIn” provides opportunities to learn and improve skills with 50,000 unique learning skills to improve members marketability.
The jobs market is what “LinkedIn” does. If it is seeing this trend then it lines up with the unbalanced ratio of job losses to those created at 4:1 in September.
In comparison, after negative hiring for over two years following the global economic collapse, President Obama maintained hiring rates over 200,000 consistently per month in his Presidency. It dipped rarely and sometimes exceeded 300,000.
Maybe the hiring for the holidays is over. But, September 2018 is at least 10,000 less hiring of staff than the same time period last year. Considering the enormous amount of cash US businesses received in January 2018, the hiring should be record setting compared to the Obama years. It isn’t and is more of the same from Republicans.
The three cities mentioned above still have openings in the Tech industry in the hundreds. Try applying through “LinkedIn” as well as other methods. The company may be a “leg up” to being hire
One of the biggest issues mentioned by voters this year is demanding a “living minimum wage” that returns promise to their futures. Some of these same voters see “Medicare for All” as a viable solution to health care without mandated employee benefits.
