Weekly Article

The Coming Job Boom -- Why hiring is going to be tougher than it was in 1999

According to a widely regarding article in the September issue of Business 2.0 Magazine (one of my favorites) the job/hiring climate in the US is going to reach an even greater degree of insanity than was seen prior to the 2000 bubble bust.

This time, however, it is not based on aberrant speculation and a bubble economy, but instead is rooted in demographics -- trends that have been developing for decades. According to the research:

"During this decade and the next, the baby boom generation will retire. The largest generation in American history now constitutes about 60 percent of what both employers and economists call the prime-age workforce -- that is, workers between the ages of 25 and 54. The cohorts that follow are just too small to take the boomers' place. The shortage will be most acute among two key groups: managers, who tend to be older and closer to retirement, and skilled workers in high-demand, high-tech jobs."

Boom! Much like what has happened in other early-to-industrialize nations, as democratic and capitalistic controls come into play, the age of the work force tends to increase while birth rates simultaneously decrease. Japan is very acutely experiencing this condition now, where over half the population is over 50.

Recruiters Confident About Sustained Job Growth

www.execunet.com - May 20, 2005 - Amid news that soaring energy prices slowed economic growth in the first quarter, ExecuNet’s Recruiters Confidence Index shows consistent confidence in the executive employment market. The monthly survey of executive recruiters conducted in April by ExecuNet, the executive job search and recruiting network, reveals that despite disappointing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, the search industry is expecting sustained job growth at the executive level.

According to the survey of 102 executive recruiters, 75% are confident or very confident the executive employment market will improve during the next six months - down only slightly from a twenty-two month high of 78% in March. During the next six months, the executive search industry is expecting a 17% increase in the number of assignments received from corporate clients.
