Who's There
In its Employment Characteristics release, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in Year 2000, 83.2 percent of U.S. families had at least one employed member, about unchanged from 1999. Of the Nation's 71.7 million families, 5.7 percent reported having an unemployed member, a 0.3-percentage point decline from the previous year.
Both parents were employed in 64.2 percent of married-couple families with children under 18, while the father, but not the mother, was employed in 29.2 percent of these families. The labor force participation rate for unmarried mothers increased over the year by 0.4 percentage point to 78.9 percent. Since 1994, the labor force participation rate for this group has grown by 11.6 percentage points. The rate for married mothers (who represent nearly three-quarters of all mothers) was unchanged in 2000 at 69.8 percent.
How Do You Find Them
The Conference Board Help-Wanted Advertising Index closed at 66 in March, down 5 points from February. It was 88 1 year ago. In the past 3 months, help-wanted advertising declined in all nine U.S. regions. Steepest declines occurred in the East North Central (-24.7 percent), Mountain (-19.5 percent), Pacific (-19.5 percent), and Middle Atlantic (-19.3 percent) regions.
Where's the Right Place
In a techies.com survey of the most effective job search methods for tech professionals, 1,606 techies report that they use an average of 6.8 different employment resources when they search for jobs, combining online, networking, and recruiter tools. By far the most effective single tool - 36 percent cite networking as the single biggest reason they got their last tech job; 23 percent chose online job searches and resume posting; 19 percent chose headhunters. Coming up in the lowest ranks classified print media at 10 percent; direct contact with an employer 7 percent; and live job careers.
You Get Back What You Give Out
Cornell University Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies reports on a research study of how candidates determine their fit with an organization from its image in Corporate Image and Successful Recruiting. (Go to March/April 2001.)
