Three Reasons that 2022 is the Very Best Time Ever to Restart Your Career

1. The 2022 Economy is Expected to Rebound Nicely from Covid

• The Federal Reserve predicts an average of 292,000 jobs to be added to the U.S. economy each month during 2022.
• 531,000 jobs were added in Nov. 2021 alone. An LSU economist predicts that New Orleans will add 43,100 jobs between now and 2023.
• A Bankrate Economic Survey reported that 2022 unemployment will drop to the lowest levels seen since the 1960s.

2. The "Great Resignation" Means More Jobs Are Available

• 1 in 4 workers quit their jobs in 2021, with highly tenured employees (5-20 years experience) most likely to quit, according to a Vizier Survey.
• 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in Sep. 2021 alone.
• According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers study, fully 65% of U.S. employees were looking for new jobs as of August 2021. All of this adds up to more opportunities for jobseekers.

3. Virtual, Remote & Flex Jobs Are Increasingly Common

• Employers are much more likely to offer flex and remote jobs than ever before. This trend is further impacted by Covid.
• A Ladders survey found that 25% of high paying jobs will be remote by the end of 2022.
• Globe Newswire reported that 42% of Americans would switch jobs for a flexible work environment.
• A report by Ziply Fiber Analysis showed that companies who do not offer remote work will see a 30% rise in employee quit rates.
