BCS Overland Park/Leawood, KS says that with the unemployment rate at historical lows, employers are looking to fill millions of jobs.
LEAWOOD, Kan. - July 12, 2018 - PRLog -- BCS Overland Park/Leawood, KS says that with the unemployment rate at historical lows, employers are looking to fill millions of jobs. For that reason, job hunting is better than it's been in nearly a decade. The demand is particularly strong for service industry jobs and health care with American employers looking to fill 6.6 million jobs across all sectors. With the unemployment rate so low nationwide, higher levels of job openings suggests that good companies are having a harder time finding skilled workers. Small businesses are particularly aggressive in hiring, with about half of the open jobs being posted by companies with fewer than 500 employees. In a survey posted by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, small businesses reported that the shortage of qualified workers was a major issue affecting their operations in the second quarter. Moody's Analytics anticipates that because it is an employee's job market, workers can anticipate getting a bump in compensation when they switch jobs.

A good suit can cost up to $1,000 — here's how to figure out if you need to buy one for work
- You might not need to wear a suit to an interview, your first day of work, or other tricky work situations.
- Those in banking or law will likely need to wear a suit to work many days, and especially to interviews, but other industries are more business casual.
"Do I need to wear a suit?"
It's a question you might ask yourself in various professional situations: before a job interview, pre-networking event, and while compiling a work wardrobe.
Because a high-quality suit can cost up to $1,000, you probably don't want to buy one if you don't have to.
And you might be able to be perfectly appropriate without it.

16 signs you’re underpaid — and what to do about it — Careers
- You might be underpaid and need ask for a raise.
- Glassdoor.com found in a survey that the majority of its users are underpaid — by $4,700 on average.
- Here are some signs that your salary is too low and you ought to ask for a raise, as well as steps to do it.
Feeling like you might be underpaid can be one of the most disheartening aspects of work.
"It stands to reason, because for many, compensation is a concrete litmus test of how well you're performing and progressing on the job — and how highly you're valued," said Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."
What's crucial, if you realize you are underpaid, is to ask for a bump— not suffer in silence.
"The important thing to remember is that if you don't ask the answer is always no," career and wellness coach Joanna Echols told Business Insider. "Even if you don't get the raise right away, and you are an exceptional performer, the raise discussion with your boss is a great opportunity to reinforce your accomplishments and explain your future plans of adding more value to the company."

People are quitting their jobs in droves this year — and getting record-setting pay boosts because of it
- Job switchers are earning 48% higher annual pay increases in 2018 than those who stay in their jobs, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
- The pay raise gap between job seekers and job stayers hasn't been this big since 2000.
- The Wall Street Journal reported on July 4 that more workers are quitting their jobs and taking advantage of a labor market that's prioritizing employees over employers.
The tight labor market has stressed out fast food managers, trucking executives, and other managers. But it's a boon for other working Americans who want a pay raise, according to a Wall Street Journal article published on July 4.
With 6.7 million job openings, compared to the record low of 2.4 million in July 2009, workers are increasingly able to change jobs that provide them better salaries.
From January to May 2018, Americans who switched jobs enjoyed 48% larger annual salary boosts than those who didn't move jobs, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Job switchers in 2018 have reported median pay increases by 4%, compared to median increase of 2% by the job stayers.
At a 1.3 percentage point difference, it's the largest gap between switchers and stayers seen since 2000, a Business Insider analysis of the Fed data found.
