Customer Facing Industries are Improving
Retail and Accommodation/Food Services industries showed the most growth thus far in June. These industries are still recovering from a very slow start in filling jobs. Estimated fill days for these industries are well above the industry average. But it is improving with these industries trending toward the norm of 30 days. With March postings 85% complete, fill days are aligned with other industries as shown below.
Improved Compensation is the Key
Retail employers increased wages in June from $31,000 to $33,000. Accommodation/Food Services wages did not increase, but the number of postings with advertised rates increased to nearly 1 in 2 jobs. This indicates continued aggressiveness on the part of employers in filling jobs.
