Where Are Jobs Still Looking For People?
Oklahoma City (PRWEB) February 11, 2015 -- Express Employment Professionals today released a report revealing which markets have the most unfilled jobs. In many cases, these jobs remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified workers.
Most of these jobs pay above minimum wage with a range of $11 to $30 per hour in fields such as manufacturing, accounting, medical services, administrative, sales, engineering and information technology.
"Everyone knows that there are millions of people looking for jobs, but what people don’t realize is that there are often many jobs looking for people,” said Bob Funk, CEO of Express, and a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
"If you have the skills that are in demand, you may be able to leverage that into a higher-paying job. Likewise, if you’re looking to start a new chapter in your career, it may be time to consider acquiring some additional skills or moving to where the jobs are.”
Express has openings for more than 49,700 jobs. That’s an increase from January 2014, when openings totaled 47,550. The following are the top 10 cities among Express Employment Professionals locations in which jobs are looking for people in 2015:
