North Carolina Employment Searches Among Most Active In The Nation
Employee loyalty isn’t what it used to be, especially in the Tar Heel State. North Carolina employment searches are among the most active in the nation.
North Carolina Employment Searches Among Most Active In The Nation
Online search data reveals that North Carolina is third on the list of states with the most active job seekers. According to QR code generator QRFY, North Carolinians conducted job-related searches an average of 13,026 times per month per 100,000 residents. As you might expect, searches for popular job listing sites led the pack. “Jobs near me” and “work from home” were also searched quite frequently.
Here’s How The Rankings Were Determined For North Carolina Employment
The rankings were determined by analyzing Google searches for employment-related terms over the past 12 months. From there, researchers were able to identify which states are most actively looking for new employment. With the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting the national unemployment rate at 3.8 percent, you could infer that many of the North Carolina employment seekers already have jobs.
Our neighbor to the south also does a lot of online job hunting. South Carolina ranked sixth in the “most desperate to work” category with 11,992 monthly searches per 100,000 residents.
Georgia led the nation in online job searches with an average of 14,774 per month per 100,000 residents. That’s 44 percent more than the average state. It’s apparently paying off, with Georgia seeing a recent decrease in the unemployment rate.
