New Survey Wednesday: Unemployed Giving Up and Holding Out
OKLAHOMA CITY (PRWEB) May 21, 2018 -- On Wednesday, May 23, Express Employment Professionals will release the results of a new, nationwide survey of the unemployed—the fifth such annual survey conducted by Harris Poll.
Findings reveal the percentage of the unemployed who say they have "given up" is at the highest point since 2014. The unemployed also report they are holding out for higher paying jobs—specifically, ones that pay above median American household earnings.
The survey's findings also reveal whether more people are unemployed because they quit their jobs or because they were laid off.
The release will include respondents' opinions on who is to blame for their unemployment, including their attitudes toward illegal immigration.
On Thursday, May 24, Express will offer a deeper look at some of the reasons older Americans are staying out of the job market, including individual perspectives on ageism and elder care.
If you would like to obtain an advance copy of the survey results or arrange an interview with Express CEO Bill Stoller to discuss this topic, please contact Sheena Karami, Director of Corporate Communications and PR, at (405) 717-5966.
