WASHINGTON (AP) - The labor market remains a frustrating place for Latin 9,000,000 unemployed - maybe more that recruitment of job offers accelerated.
The pace of employment growth in the last three months, the fastest in 17 years. The result took almost all industries and some employers have finally had to turn higher to win or get the best talent wages.
But millions of job seekers still can not find work. Some companies are slow to fill their places, waiting for the ideal candidate. Many job seekers do not have the required skills of employers.
The fate of the unemployed also reflects an economic reality: Even in better times, the number of job seekers usually twice as many vacancies.
Jobs Report January, the government on Friday issued another factor, too: As more and more jobs, more people are usually in search of work. As the number of job seekers increased competition for the job.
The number of places is reached nearly $ 5,000,000 counted the highest since 2001, however, slightly more than half the number of people the government as unemployed.
"There will always be a lot of jobs and over a number of people from unemployment to employment," said Tara Sinclair, Professor of Economics at George Washington University. "The transition is not available."
For many, the transition can be very slow. Complaints abound on the site online that seem more like black holes ways to work work. Candidates may not get to online portals of the past, explain the gaps in your CV. Several interviews and other measures - even for low-paid jobs - can prolong the process.
Carlie Kozlowich, 23, had three meetings last year with a sales company for a job has been said, means "Voyage" and "Events". Only after the acceptance of the work that you learned it. Selling products in a booth at a Costco Having accumulated about 50,000 dollars in debt to get a college degree, he felt down.
"Three interviews only to say," Would you like a pierogi try today? "She said.
Steven Davis, an economist at the University of Chicago, estimates that the employer had an average of 25.6 days to fill a position in November, the latest period for which data are available. This figure almost identical, July 26, the longest in 14 years that the government uses the data collected Davis.
You can rent a longer period somehow be a positive sign: it is suggested that companies difficulties, labor, because the economy strengthened. The number of unemployed reached a peak of 15.4 million in October 2009, shortly after the end of the recession.
The fact that so much time is necessary for companies to fill vacancies, with 9,000,000 unemployed that most discouraging factors may play a role.
Some companies that highly skilled workers in areas such as information technology and modern manufacturing complain about the lack of qualified candidates. Some recruiters and online job boards described "skills mismatch."
Paul D'Arcy, senior vice president at work Indeed.com shows that less skilled jobs usually receive a flood of applications, while more skilled positions to gain much less.
Jobs in management, computer science and mathematics, architecture and art of many other job seekers in these areas after the point.
This does not sit well with Bill Gahan, 51, looking for work almost a year ago after moving to Salt Lake City for sitting. Gahan has worked in production and logistics for 29 years, including as vice president of logistics in an enterprise hardware and software for the visually impaired.
He said some experts believe that many of the unemployed lack the right skills, Gahan said: "I want to talk a conversation with."
Increasingly, many economists agree Gahan. While there are skill shortages in some very technical, in the case of skills shortages were everywhere, employers are likely to offer higher wages. Despite the sharp increase in January, the average salary has not much.
Many employers remain very selective, perhaps under the assumption that there are still legions of unemployed to choose from. Perhaps you are right: there are 6.8 million part-time workers who work full-time prefer - 50 percent more than in 2007, before the recession began.
The recession has also left some companies hesitate to make permanent staff. They turned instead of temporary and contract workers.
All this has jobseekers as Stephen Jones in a cul de sac on the left. A lawyer, Jones has not found work since his arrival in Windermere, Florida, about a year ago. In addition to apply for positions as a lawyer, Jones has reduced their websites and searched assistants and para law jobs. After submitting 200-300 hp, heard once or twice again.
"What should I do?" asked Jones, 32: "I am overqualified for some jobs, and I am for the work that you want to have well qualified."
Many companies that do not want to see to hire you.
Explorys, a provider of health data in Cleveland wants to add 80 people to its staff of 142 people this year, especially in the data analysis. The company uses a database to manage hospitals and anticipate the needs of the patient.
Cleveland is home to several large employers in the health sector and research universities usually Explorys "many good candidates for the jobs," CEO Steve McHale said, and tried those, just to identify with the culture and values.
"We say probablement` no" more than other companies, "he said.
Geography can be a barrier for some businesses, the setting is.
Digi-Key, an online marketer of electrical components, adds 521 jobs last year, sales rose by around 3300. However, it is its workforce in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, a city of 8,500 hours, the Canadian border.
Offered relocation bonuses and arranged bus service to find nearby towns of candidates. But Rick Trontvet, vice president of human resources is concerned that these measures are not sufficient, as the company grows.
"We have so many jobs and so few people to fill them," says Trontvet.
