Vice President, Mid-Market HCM Transformation & Thought Leadership, Oracle HCM
You can’t listen to a news report or read economic data without hearing about the current job market. We have had 65 months of private sector job growth, and last year alone the economy added over 3.1 million new jobs. Employee confidence is at new high; 52% of employees report optimism in the job market. It is said that this is a better job market than the dot com boom in the early 2000s. If you are a job-seeker, these are good times. However, if you are looking to hire and retain talent, these are challenging times.
