According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ February Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), there were 8.7 million job openings, 3.5 million quits, and 5.8 million hires. In addition, layoffs ticked up by 1.1%. Empowered Planning founder Shinobu Hindert joins Wealth! to discuss how Americans can navigate a tightening labor market.
Hindert signals where in the job market there are the most openings: "There are so many job openings in education at all different levels from teachers to administrators and the same thing with the healthcare industry. There is a wide variety of jobs in demand and this is also trickling down to accountants, the financial industry. So there are specific in those industries, a lot of jobs are currently available."
She also recommends that job hunters reflect on their mindset: "I think the number one thing is to be flexible. And to open our minds to what skillsets you developed that AI cannot take over, but can compliment things that you’re doing and allow for efficiency."
