The Problem
In today's Electronic Recruiting News, John Sumser looks at the effects of population decline.
Too Much Supply, Too Little Demand
The Washington Post reports that businesses have few incentives to expand or hire.
Not Following Your Bliss?
More Americans are expressing unhappiness with their jobs, according to a special report from The Conference Board. The survey finds growing numbers of Americans are less satisfied with their jobs compared to 7 years ago. Only about half of those surveyed say they are happy in their jobs, down from 59 percent in 1995. The decline in job satisfaction is found among workers of all ages and across all income brackets.
Quarterly Outlook
Job seekers in the United States can expect little improvement in hiring activity in the fourth quarter of 2002, according to the Employment Outlook Survey, conducted by Manpower Inc. Of the nearly 16,000 employers interviewed, 24 percent expect to hire more people during the fourth quarter, compared with 27 percent in the third quarter of the year. Only 9 percent intend to reduce their workforce compared with 8 percent in the previous quarter. A steady 62 percent of companies will maintain their current staff levels, and only 5 percent are uncertain. When the seasonal impact is removed from the data, employment prospects remain at the same level as in the third quarter.
Reveille
