美國5月的職位空缺數(shù)量升至新的歷史高點(diǎn),凸顯了持續(xù)存在的招聘困難。醫(yī)療保健、教育和酒店行業(yè)的空缺職位增幅尤為顯著。
美國勞工部(Labor Department)在7月7日公布的職位空缺和勞動力流動調(diào)查(Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey)顯示,5月的職位空缺從4月的下調(diào)數(shù)值919萬攀升至921萬。
最近幾個月,由于新冠疫苗供應(yīng)充足,再加上經(jīng)濟(jì)加速重啟,經(jīng)濟(jì)活動強(qiáng)勢反彈。但消費(fèi)需求的增速在很大程度上超過了企業(yè)的招聘能力。在這場如火如荼的招聘競賽中,許多企業(yè)開始加薪,并通過提供入職獎金等激勵措施來吸引應(yīng)聘者。
5月,自愿離職的人數(shù)降至360萬(是的,這個數(shù)字仍然很高),離職率下降到2.5%。幾乎所有行業(yè)的辭職人數(shù)都有所下降,但餐館和酒店行業(yè)的辭職人數(shù)略有上升。
與此同時,這些數(shù)據(jù)也顯示,越來越多的美國人辭職去尋找新的機(jī)會。無論是尋求更靈活的工作時間、更高的薪酬待遇還是遠(yuǎn)程工作的能力,辭職人數(shù)表明許多人很有信心找到心儀的工作。
在數(shù)百人美國人仍然失業(yè)之際,工人短缺之謎可能反映了無數(shù)因素,包括兒童保育方面的挑戰(zhàn)、對新冠病毒揮之不去的擔(dān)憂,以及失業(yè)福利的擴(kuò)大。不過,這些因素可能會在未來幾個月減弱,從而提振企業(yè)的招聘工作。
5月,住宿和餐飲業(yè)的職位空缺增加了89,000個,醫(yī)療保健業(yè)增加了81,000個。餐館和酒店的招聘力度仍然強(qiáng)勁。
5月的總招聘人數(shù)由601萬人減至593萬人,招聘率則回落至4.1%。下降主要集中在建筑業(yè)、政府和專業(yè)服務(wù)領(lǐng)域。
5月的職位空缺總數(shù)比招聘人數(shù)多出328萬,是2000年以來的最高紀(jì)錄。
最新就業(yè)報告顯示,6月的就業(yè)人口增加85萬人,為10個月來最大增幅。這表明,一個月后,企業(yè)在招聘工人填補(bǔ)空缺職位方面取得了更大的成功。不過,其他數(shù)據(jù)凸顯了持續(xù)存在的勞動力制約因素。
美國供應(yīng)管理協(xié)會(Institute for Supply Management)發(fā)布的制造業(yè)和服務(wù)業(yè)就業(yè)指數(shù)在6月均出現(xiàn)收縮。全美獨(dú)立企業(yè)聯(lián)合會(National Federation of Independent Business)發(fā)布的另一份報告顯示,6月小企業(yè)的職位空缺略有減少,但這個數(shù)值僅次于一個月前創(chuàng)下的紀(jì)錄。6月25日,求職網(wǎng)站Indeed發(fā)布的職位空缺數(shù)量比新冠疫情爆發(fā)前的基線多了33.6%。(財富中文網(wǎng))

U.S. job openings rose to a fresh record high in May, underscoring persistent hiring difficulties and reflecting more vacancies in the health care, education and hospitality industries.
The number of available positions climbed to 9.21 million during the month from a downwardly revised 9.19 million in April, the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, showed on July 7.
The availability of vaccines paired with a broader reopening of the economy has spurred a snapback in economic activity in recent months, but consumer demand has largely outpaced businesses’ ability to hire. In a race to increase headcount, many businesses have begun raising wages and offering incentives like hiring bonuses to attract applicants.
The number of people who voluntarily left their jobs decreased to a still-lofty 3.6 million in May, as the quits rate dropped to 2.5%. Quits fell in nearly all industries, though they picked up slightly for restaurants and hotels.
At the same time, the figures highlight an elevated number of Americans quitting their jobs to search out new opportunities. Whether seeking more flexible hours, increased pay or the ability to work remotely, the number of quits suggests workers are confident in their ability to find other employment.
The enigma of a worker shortage at a time when millions of Americans remain out of work likely reflects a myriad of factors including child care challenges, lingering coronavirus concerns and expanded jobless benefits. Those factors will likely abate in the coming months though, supporting additional hiring.
Accommodation and food service job openings increased by 89,000 in May, and by 81,000 in health care. Hiring at restaurants and hotels remained robust.
Total hires decreased to 5.93 million in May from 6.01 million, while the hires rate eased to 4.1%. The decline was concentrated in construction, government and professional services.
The total number of vacancies exceeded hires by 3.28 million in May, the highest in records to 2000.
The latest jobs report showed payrolls increased 850,000 in June, the largest advance in 10 months, suggesting firms were having greater success a month later in recruiting workers to fill open positions. Still, other data underscore ongoing labor constraints.
The employment measures for the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing and services surveys both contracted in June. A separate report from the National Federation of Independent Business showed small business job openings eased slightly in June, but the reading was second only to the record seen a month earlier. And on June 25, job search website Indeed had 33.6% more job postings than the pre-pandemic baseline.
