2012 Outlook on the New World of Work
Job creation will be the central issue of 2012 and the upcoming presidential election. But like a lot of political issues, the facts lie far below the headlines and rhetoric. Overall, unemployment is unacceptably high, but different groups or classes of workers are faring differently.

In contrast to the highly publicized 8.5 percent U.S. unemployment figure, the unemployment rate for “management, professional, and related occupations” is just 4.4 percent. It’s no wonder many hiring managers can’t fill higher-level, strategic, management and technology positions. The data suggests there aren’t enough applicants eligible, available or willing to fill those jobs.

Because of the high profile of mission-critical initiatives, hiring managers will have to demonstrate tight oversight of work streams and deliverables.
