While a permit is required for employment in the country, job vacancies are currently increasing and companies are raising wages.
Job offers in the United States have increased a lot because of the epidemic, many people have left their jobs, and have not resumed work due to various reasons, resulting in many job vacancies
According to the latest figures released as of June, 10 million jobs were reported to be open, but only about 6 million applicants showed up, leaving a large number of vacancies.
One factor contributing to the worker shortage has to do with a generation of “baby boomers” who were left out of the labor force before the pandemic and accelerated after the resumption of activity after lockdown.
Since November last year, there has been a phenomenon in the United States that they call the “Great Resignation“. What happened is that nearly 4 million people started leaving their jobs to find new ones
Most dropouts are in the hotel and restaurant industry. That’s why many of the jobs currently on offer are in these two industries, but there are others in health and social assistance, transport, warehouses and supplies.
This situation has led some local companies and others to post job offers on their windows and doors so that a documented person with legal papers can land one of the jobs.
Jobs in America: Wages on the rise
The competition among companies to retain workers is causing owners of organizations to increase the wages they offer. One of the latest reports shows that average hourly wages have risen, and depending on the sector a person works in, they may pay as much as $15. In the private sector, for example, they now pay $3,227, a 52% increase in a year.
