1.4 jobs available for every person looking for employment.
“1.4 jobs available for every person looking for employment.”
If it is anything like my company, 90% of those “available” jobs are never filled. I know my management line gets all these “open” positions posted so that when the inevitable layoffs happen we can reduce staff by removing the postings. Even with that, my team has six people when five years ago we had 12, and are now covering about triple the clients. But that appears to be the same everywhere.
