Laid-Off Tech Workers Are Currently Getting New Jobs Quickly
Amid the whole uncertainty currently rocking the global economy, worrying cutbacks, and job layoffs, workers are still successfully getting re-employed, a new set of figures has claimed.
A recent report from ZipRecruiter found out that tech workers are still one of the most successful at quickly finding re-employment, with 79% getting a new role just within three months of termination which is just a touch below the average figure for all types of jobs at 83%.
There Are More Vacancies Than There Are Unemployed Adults in the US
And while the present 10.3 million job openings are down from the previous high, there are however still many more vacancies than there are unemployed adults in the United States of America, which directly presents new challenges or opportunities to workers that are seeking a career change.
Tech workers that are eager and that may be put off by a career change due to lack of confidence are now told otherwise as innovation, confidence, creativity and the right skill set are one of the key qualities an employer can be looking for.
Sectors Where Workers Find Re-Employment Quickly
Some of the sectors that saw laid-off workers finding re-employment rather quickly include entertainment and leisure, transportation and delivery, and manufacturing, thus implying that these set of sectors are prepared to weather the current economic storm and could also provide a secure position for workers who have been currently laid off from other roles.
