Why so few job openings?

Question

Iwas checking the want ads back east in two small towns, one there was no job openings another for two small towns wanted63.

Answer 1

We're in a permanent recession, unless major changes in the national financial structures' institutions and policies are made.
I'll confine myself to two:
One: Requiring job descriptions by prioritized and adjudicable 5-6 necessary abilities, levels, qualities, instead of made-up drivel.
That's needed so people can go to court if denied a job for which they have qualifications superior to others, and if they find themselves having been lied to about a job--getting heft payments from those fined for having lied.
Without that, guys with Brooklyn accents will end up playing "Richard III", and "Spartacus" and other leads requiring stage-trained voices and classical accents, etc., all over the map. And your salesperson won't be able to do math or be nice to people.
Two: Take back the untold billions handed by the Federal reserve to any bozo calling himself executive, CEO, etc. at a failing corporation being run by cruel, vindictive and talentless mental deficients. The way to do it is simple--restore the tax of income--nobody paying more than 49% combined taxes, anyone in the bracket above the national average being taxed like everyone else--except those below that media. And also, nobody can earn more than
10 times what his highest-paid regular worker or support executive gets, whichever formula applies (to widget manufacture or baseball teams) BEFORE he has done any work, earned any money, etc.
With these two simple rules in place, your little burg would have an economy, manufacture, jobs and a modicum of economic justice.
Without these two--you'll be reading the same newspaper entries for the next 500 years and more.

Answer 2

All the carping answers aside the most probable reason is that employers rely less and less on newspapers to fill positions. There are a number of reasons for this not least of which is that once you run a highly edited ad in a newspaper you take on the EEOC as a hiring partner with all verboten questions, etc. So, hiring a stranger becomes a crap shoot.

In the long run it is cheaper to contract with a temp agency. That way you get to take a look at the employee in the actual working environment WITHOUT obligation: If you don't like her you simply inform the temp agency and get a replacement. Many temp agencies operate this way and the employer simply pays a small fee when he puts the employee on his payroll.

Answer 3

Because the newspapers want too much money for a classified ad.

Our company placed a 10 line add in a small Metropolitan area paper and it cost us $700 for Saturday and Sunday.

I can put a help wanted sign on the window for about $5 and use the $695 to conduct a thorough background search for an ideal candidate.

Plus, East Coast towns are likely ruled by liberal democrats who have run all the job opportunity into the heartland.

Answer 4

Economically, our unemployment rate is about 4-5% right now so we're reaching towards full employment therefore less jobs are available as everyone has occupying them. Another is that employers are hiring cheaper labor, either overseas or using immigrants who are new to the country. It all depends on whether or not you're searching for a blue-collar or white-collar job.

Answer 5

It depends on the type of industry in the town and the season. If you have manufacturing in the town, the hiring trend goes high and low depending on their demands. For example, a manufacturer in my town does cake decorations--before Christmas, Valentines Day, etc., the hiring demand is way high and then goes down after the holiday.

Answer 6

The reason why there are few jobs in the United States is because of the Republican Party. They feel if they can pay these immigrants low wages instead of paying the american people who leave here in the states then there will not be any jobs so think the next time when you go to the poll and vote think about you and your job search.

Answer 7

That's because you're looking in small towns. In larger populated areas, some can have 2 or 3 jobs, if they want to.

Answer 8

Outsourcing and in sourcing... There are about 10million folks in the U.S. taking up jobs who don't belong here... About 8million from Mexico are here illegally filling the lower paying jobs, and about 2million from India are here on work visa's taking the high paying jobs.
