Plastics Recruiter February Unemployment Rate

Many of my clients are always amazed at how hard it is to find people to fill their critical openings. The vast majority of these openings require a college degree. The unemployment numbers for last month were published this past Friday. Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemploment rate for those who are over 25 and hold a bachelor's degree and higher is 4.3%. That means if you are looking for a very specific background, ie: Injection Molding Engineer, it is going to be very tough because 1.There are not many of them to begin with and, 2. The very few that are out there are employed.

This means that running ad on the internet or newspaper doesn't always attract the people you want. If you get stuck on an opening, call me!
