It’s a question that’s becoming increasingly pressing in the midst of a long-term economic downturn and the global economic downturn.
And for many Americans, that means it’s time to consider whether or not they want to be a full-time employee.
According to a survey from job-search site Glassdoor, nearly 1.3 million Americans were considering jobs for a variety of reasons, from the need to supplement their income with an additional paycheck, to find a career change, to look for work while they’re still on a school trip or vacation, or simply to save up some cash.
While the job market may be getting worse and the economy in general may be showing signs of weakness, many employers are still willing to look beyond the traditional “payroll crunch” for those looking for a change.
And with the economy improving, many of these employees will be willing to take a step back to look at how they can earn more and more in a variety, or in some cases, all, of their jobs.
As Glassdoor notes, some of these jobs may not require a college degree, but they still need to have an understanding of the company and their current role.
Some of the most important aspects of these positions are the type of work that they perform, how they earn money, and what the compensation is like.
The Glassdoor survey found that of the 1.2 million employees surveyed, roughly half of them had at least some college experience, with nearly half of the respondents also working at some point in their careers.
In fact, nearly half said they had attended school for some kind of course.
Glassdoor found that these positions were primarily aimed at the young and aspiring, while the vast majority of those surveyed had a high school diploma or some college degree.
Some positions that Glassdoor identified include:• Customer service, including call centers, cashiers, salespeople, and other similar positions.• Information technology, including servers, databases, and software for websites.• Financial reporting, including mortgage brokers, tax preparation, and financial accounting.• Sales and administrative support.• Business administration, including accounting, finance, accounting software, and legal and legal support.
Glassdoor also found that only about a quarter of the employees surveyed had some college credit, with just over a third working at least part-time.
But many of those who have an associate degree or higher, and those who hold an associate in business administration or finance, are not as willing to put in the extra work that it takes to earn a living wage.
Accordingly, Glassdoor also identified a number of job-related skills that should be considered in the hiring process, including experience and knowledge in accounting, business administration, accounting and financial reporting, and marketing.
Many of the skills that are being considered are already becoming a part of our economy, so it’s important that we take steps to ensure that all Americans have access to those skills.
