Restrained Resumes

Over the past year, the number of job openings has grown by 1.02 million. Over a third of these job vacancies are in accommodation and food service (200,000 more open jobs) and retail (147,000 more), both typically suited for entry-level positions. This suggests the tight labor market is allowing employees who might otherwise take restaurant or retail jobs to look for better paying jobs with room for advancement and training.
