Express Employment Professionals explores the disconnect between job seekers and employers in a new white paper, "The Great Divide: The Chasm Standing Between Job Seekers and Employers."
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Wednesday, Oct. 12, Express Employment Professionals will release a new white paper, titled "The Great Divide: The Chasm Standing Between Job Seekers and Employers," exploring 10 key barriers that get in the way of workers who want jobs.
The fact is America has plenty of job openings. But something is standing in the way for the 6 million unemployed Americans and the 5.6 million more who say they want a job but are no longer actively searching for one. The paper will also offer some ideas of how to eliminate these barriers—if that is even possible.
These barriers include:
1. Child care
2. Elder care
3. Unpredictable business needs
4. Job training and skills
5. Work history and criminal history
6. Transportation and geography
7. Health issues and concerns
8. Communication issues
9. Workplace culture expectations
10. Wage expectations
Drawing from the real-life experiences of Express Employment Professionals franchise owners and the companies they serve, as well as exclusive survey data prepared by The Harris Poll for Express and recent economic data, this paper examines who is struggling to rejoin the labor force and why.
