  • US job openings: These are the most sought-after jobs

    US job openings: These are the most sought-after jobs

    The U.S. is experiencing a phenomenon known as the “Great Resignation,” which began during the covid-19 pandemic and resulted in insufficient labor demand in key sectors of the U.S. economy.

    According to a study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Kentucky was the state that added the most jobs as millions left.

    According to the report, the industries with the largest number of layoffs and a large number of job openings at the same time are: transportation, education, medical assistance, social assistance, wholesale and retail trade, food and hospitality, and leisure.

    The hospitality and leisure sector saw the highest number of unemployed at 5.4%, while construction and mining saw a surplus of workers, the report said.

    This “big resignation” phenomenon stems from the epidemic. A total of 47 million workers decided to leave in 2021, and a large part of the vacancies were not filled.

    According to the Vive USA portal, one of the reasons for this has to do with the increase in working from home during the pandemic and the decision of many people to leave their jobs once they are asked to return to the office.

    On the other hand, the help Americans have received during the pandemic has allowed many people to save some money and earn more than they did while working, for which they decided to quit their jobs and enjoy their savings.

    Additionally, just over 3 million Americans have decided to retire early and leave the workforce.

    In this sense, campaigns were launched to provide people with benefits so that they could start working in sectors that lack the workforce, while giving immigrants space to work there.

  • Is it possible to earn more than $50 dollars an hour?

    Is it possible to earn more than $50 dollars an hour?

    One of the goals of hundreds of people around the world is to achieve job stability, which allows them to earn high salaries. There are some jobs in the US with these characteristics, but for that you need to study.

    According to the U.S. Department of Labor, each territory that makes up a major power has its own wage payment policy, usually determined by the hour. In fact, a city like Washington is one of the places where the average job pay is over $15, which can be as high as $25 or more depending on the contract.

    However, there is a chance to get something more than the above amount. For example, an hourly payment equivalent to $50 (over 200,000 Colombian pesos).

    Taking into account data compiled by the Vise Usa portal, professionals with specialized knowledge are paid seven times the federal minimum hours, which the law set this year at $7.25.

    In that sense, a professional working in modest numbers would earn $400 (over $1,700,000) in an 8-hour shift.

    Those who get high salaries usually work in IT or management positions. So, to give you an idea of ​​this, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Bis) publishes the average salaries for some U.S. professionals.

    Until then, analysts have detailed that the numbers could vary, as payments often depend on the company and where it executes the process.

    So, in areas where the cost of living is higher, so are the payments. In short, a raise means a bigger tax allocation.
