The seasons may be changing, but the job market is finally holding steady. 2023 saw many twists and turns in employer and applicant activity. But their behavior in March was relatively even keeled. Our April Workforce report examines this trend and:
The 2023 job market was like a rollercoaster. Job applications, job openings and hires skyrocketed and plummeted throughout the year.
If last year’s market was the stuff of theme parks and carnivals, this year’s is a peaceful river cruise. In March, job applications and job openings quietly climbed from January 2023 levels by 3% and 2%, respectively. There was slightly more drama where hiring was concerned. Hires fell 7%, but even that change appears mild when compared to the sharp plunges hiring saw last year.
Applicants per opening grew steadily between March of 2023 and March 2024. This upward trend is likely leaving recruiters busy fielding more and more applications. An influx of applicants may mean more work, but it also means recruiters have more choices. To capitalize on this trend, recruiters need to focus on finding the best candidates, and fast.
Certain industries are seeing bigger growth in applicants per opening (APO). Tech-related jobs, for instance, have seen a 45% increase in APO since March 2023. Manufacturing jobs also saw a solid 31% growth in APO during the same time period.
Like many industries, retail endured serious drama in the labor market throughout 2023. The beginning of 2024 offered little respite, as evidenced by a fall in hiring activity in January and February. But hiring inched back to 2023 levels in March, signaling hope and health for the industry.
