The economy is reopening, industries are getting back to functioning at their optimum levelsand people are finding new jobs. Also, there has lately been a major change in hiring with a gradual transition from a candidate-driven market to a job-oriented market.The United States added a record number of jobs in July, indicating that people are more confident about going back to work now as they get vaccinated. This in a way is directly helping staffing companies as they too are getting busy helping people find jobs.U.S. Adds Record Number of JobsHiring rose at a record pace in July, the fastest in almost a year, as the economy started functioning in full swing. The Labor Department said on Friday that nonfarm payrolls increased 943,000. The jump in July payrolls is the biggest and fastest since August 2020.Also, the unemployment rate declined to 5.4% in July from 5.9% in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The number of unemployed people declined 782,000 to 8.7 million. Temporary unemployment numbers fell to 1.2 million in July, marking a decline of 572,000.Industries have been on a hiring spree for the past few months pushing the unemployment rate down. The number of Americans who were temporarily unemployed was 18 million in April 2020. This was just after several companies decided to lay off or furlough employees following the coronavirus outbreak that compelled many to halt production.Signs of Economic RecoveryA higher rate of hiring and a decline in the unemployment rate are indications that the economy is finally getting back on its feet. Also, average hourly earnings for employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by $0.11 to $30.54 in July, which proves that employers are ready to shell out more on an employee.The job gains in July were primarily driven by hiring in the leisure and hospitality sector. As many as 380,000 heads were hired as more people started stepping out of their homes and planned holidays. A good sign is that the jump in hiring and a decline in unemployment come despite the growing cases of COVID-91.Needless to say, the growing cases of the Delta variant of coronavirus haven’t dampened the spirit of people. Instead, people are more confident now.Our ChoicesHiring will be on the rise as the economy further reopens.
