Jobless claims are at an ultimate low

Breaking news: Jobless claims are at an all-time low Did you see the biggest breaking news recently? The U.S. Department of Labor came out with its’ latest jobless claims and it now shows the jobless claims are the lowest they’ve been in nearly 50 years, 49 years to be exact. We haven’t had jobless claims this low since 1969.

So, what does that mean for local businesses or national businesses? It means it’s another indication that it’s getting harder and harder to find people to work for you. It means there are no people on the sidelines anymore. Everybody that wants a job, has a job unless they don’t want to work and that’s just not very many people.

How do you reach people who are already employed? They are at jobs that they’re okay with at the moment, but you need those people to run your businesses because now we’re starting to see businesses now that are closing and that are turning away orders because they just don’t have the labor force in order to turn out their products.

It’s making it much more difficult for companies to compete if they don’t have people to perform all of those services or to make all of those products. What we’re doing is helping a lot of those businesses asking for help to get those products out in the market place.

They need people, so we’re helping to find those people in order to drive them into the funnel, into the application system; so those companies have people to hire. They’re getting harder to reach and you have to be very smart about it, and a lot of HR departments are frankly just too busy to be able to do that. You need organizations like StokesHERZOG, an advertising agency, a marketing agency to be able to take care of that and make sure they are getting their ads out in front of the people who are looking for those jobs. You have to be very targeted and very demographic driven.

That’s how we can help. Be sure to e-mail us or give us a phone call. We’ll come up with a strategy and a plan that will work for your company like it has for many of the other companies we’ve worked for before and we’ll take care of finding those great employees that can work for your business.
