Virtual Vocations CEO and co-founder Laura Spawn is motivated by an increasing trend toward a stable job market that now includes more flexible jobs than ever before. “November jobs numbers brought good news for working families<\/strong>. Job growth has continued to remain stable not only overall in the U.S., but also specifically within remote-enabled job sectors. Also, we continued to see increased growth in career fields hammered by the pandemic. In fact, the U.S. economy has now gained approximately one million more jobs<\/strong>, many of which offer flexibility<\/strong>, than we had prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote Work Report Spotlight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“The Research Team at Resume Genius, led by Rebecca Tay (PhD, Johns Hopkins) conducted a survey to better understand the attitudes of American workers toward the four-day work week. And at the heart of this survey was the question: can a four-day work week actually reduce burnout, or is burnout tied to a deeper malaise with working in the U.S. in general?” <\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Why a 4-day Work Week Won’t Decrease Burnout (Survey Data)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Resume Genius’s researchers polled 500 workers on their opinions about the four-day work week concept<\/strong><\/a> and if it would affect employees’ job burnout levels. While the majority of workers favor a four-day work week in theory, Resume Genius found it is not a solution to job burnout because companies value productivity over burnout relief, four-day weeks can increase stress, and burnout is caused by more than long hours on the job. In fact, respondents attributed their top professional burnout to factors to elements unrelated to time: too heavy a workload (47%<\/strong>); stressful relationships at work (32%<\/strong>); and recognizing no value in their work (25%<\/strong>). Read on for additional survey findings from Resume Genius’s new report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLS Jobs Report Data for November 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Total\u00a0nonfarm payroll employment increased by 263,000<\/strong>\u00a0in November, and the\u00a0unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.7 percent,<\/strong>” according to the BLS. Outperforming estimates of 205,000 new payrolls for October, the U.S. job market exceeded expectations. Treasury yields were also higher and stocks responded positively to the October jobs report. However, all that glitters is not necessarily gold. October also was the slowest paced month for job gains since December 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n
