Capango: ‘State of Retail Talent’ Survey
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rate in retail is at a 10-year low (4 percent) and the number of open jobs continues to climb, reaching 744,000 in November 2018. As retailers compete for top talent in an increasingly tight labor market, Capango’s State of Retail Talent survey provides an inside look at today’s retail job seeker, including how they like to work and what they’re passionate about. Armed with this insight, employers can begin developing retail recruiting strategies that will enable them to build a more engaged and efficient workforce.
