I had the opportunity to share my thoughts on labor force shortages with WalletHub. A sneak preview: Why do employers have difficulties in filling employment positions? I think one overlooked factor is the growth in occupational licensing. Occupational licensing makes it illegal to work in an occupation before meeting entry requirements like minimum levels of education and training and paying fees. My research shows that from 1993 to 2012 states on average added licensing requirements for 31 low and moderate-income occupations. Some added licensing for as many as 59. These regulatory hurdles make it harder for aspiring workers to enter the workforce and this is backed up by existing research as well.

PLEASE. #recruiters #hiringmanagers #businessowners

In addition to this, the number of job seekers hunting for permanent job positions across the UK rose for the 12th month running in February. There were consistently more reports of redundancies in 2023, which increased the number of workers on the hunt for permanent roles. Other reasons job seekers were searching for permanent roles were for security and stability. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d8wq2aj4 #marketinsights #recruitment #payments
