Zengo & Co. Reveal the Realities Behind the Job Market Crisis

    CHICAGO, IL, November 23, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After a difficult five years for both businesses and jobseekers it would appear that the US job market is on a slow road to recovery. Recent reports have suggested that the job openings in the US are at a 13 year high, whilst layoffs are currently at a 15 year low. This should come as great news to the nations' unemployed. However despite the influx of new roles across America, it would seem that many companies are still reluctant to hire, leaving a great deal of workers no better off than they were during the dark years of the recession.

Despite over 200,000 jobs being added to the market every month, around 18 million Americans are still struggling to find full time employment. Yet, the number of people claiming unemployment benefit has fallen, suggesting many American's are being forced to take uninspiring part time work to stay afloat. Sales and marketing firm Zengo & Co are pleased to hear that the job market is slowly improving however are concerned by the amount of roles that remain unfilled. The firm feel that many businesses are reluctant to hire following their experiences during the recession. The majority of US businesses were forced to cut back on both staff and resources as consumer spending drew to a halt and sales fell. Now that the economy has recovered businesses are still wary of taking on more staff and have grown more picky about who they hire, only targeting workers with extensive industry knowledge. It would seem that the majority of businesses are still keen on avoiding situations where they have to pay for specialist training and development.

As a result of this, many businesses across the US are now experiencing a shortage of skilled workers, refusing to budge over the issue of hiring staff that require additional training. Zengo & Co believe that this could be a costly mistake for businesses, as staff shortages could damage businesses productivity far more than funding training ever could.
