Job Market Tilts Toward U.S. Workers in Virtuous Cycle: Economy
By Rich Miller and Victoria Stilwell Aug 11, 2014 10:07 AM ET
The balance of power in the job market is shifting slowly toward employees from employers.
Bob Funk sees it firsthand from his position as chief executive officer of staffing agency Express Employment Professionals.
“We’re short of people in a number of cities,” he said.
So he’s changing the focus of his $2.5 billion, Oklahoma City-based business. Instead of concentrating on finding jobs for those who want them, Express Employment is putting more effort into finding workers for companies that need them.
“We’re back in the recruiting market again,” Funk said.
