#CareerAdvice : #JobOpenings -Job Market Report; Where Are The Open Jobs?

June 4, 2019/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

Ever wish you could have a crystal ball to look into the future? To know what city was slated to become the next big tech hub or to uncover which industries are hiring like crazy?

If you answered “yes,” you’re not alone. We also wanted to get a better picture of the future of work and hiring in America, so we looked at millions of job postings on Glassdoor to get a real-time view of job and hiring trends. This isn’t the BLS job report which looks at months-old data — we’ve got salary information and open job postings for what’s happening right now.

So where are the open jobs, you ask?

Turns out that U.S. Job Openings increased 1.2% year-over-year to nearly 5.7 million U.S. job openings as of May 2019.

Job postings in the insurance sector grew at the fastest pace in May, up 56.7% from a year ago to 106,865 open jobs nationally. Rapid growth in healthcare jobs has impacted the insurance industry as well, with strong hiring at companies like Aetna, Humana, and State Farm. Many of these roles are sales- and tech-related, reflecting a changing mix of hiring in the insurance sector.

Hiring was up strongly in the information technology sector, which includes many employers who provide foundational IT infrastructure, networking and support services including IBM, General Dynamics IT, and Infosys.

But it’s not all about tech. Turns out, government hiring is on the rise. Government hiring was up strongly in May, with job postings up 15.4% from a year ago to 121,758 open jobs. Federal hiring for the 2020 Census is ramping up today, and we’re seeing growing job openings across a large number of state and federal agencies in 2019.

According to our job market report research, small employers with less than 200 employees saw the fastest growth in job openings, whereas the largest employers with over 5,000 employees actually saw job openings decrease.

Top 5 Industries with Fastest Growth in Job Openings

Industry	Job Openings	YoY %
Insurance	106,865	56.7%
Information Technology	183,526	35.8%
Media & Publishing	29,261	20.5%

How to Find a Job in a New City

Finding a job is hard enough. Add a long-distance move into the mix, and it becomes even more challenging. Besides just looking at job openings and preparing your application materials, you have to think about booking flights for in-person interviews, searching for housing, networking with the right people and more. It’s enough to drive anyone crazy — so we’ve put together a few tips.

If you’re moving to be closer to your family, or to fulfill a childhood dream of living in a certain area, you’ll already have a location in mind — but if you just want a change of pace, it’s worth researching the many different options available to you. One great place to turn? Glassdoor. The above cities are great places to move if you’re looking for a lot of opportunity and great pay.

Besides looking into how a location will impact your career and finances, it’s also worth asking yourself the following questions to determine which place is right for you:

What pace of life am I looking for?
What sorts of amenities (parks, museums, high-quality public schools, etc.) are important to me?
Do I know anyone in the area?
What do I want the weather to be like?

Once you answer questions like these, you can research which locations match the qualities you value the most.

Some companies prefer to stick to local candidates only — others are much more willing to accommodate outside job seekers. They may even offer relocation bonuses, which can significantly help you defray the cost of moving. In his study Metro Movers: Where Are Americans Moving for Jobs, And Is It Worth It? Glassdoor Chief Economist Dr. Andrew Chamberlain identified a handful of the most mover-friendly companies. Here were ten notable companies that made the cut:

As always, keep an eye out for the latest job openings by creating a Job Alert and we’ll be back monthly to share the latest Job Market Report!

March 21, 2019/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

It’s easy to look at someone with a great salary and think about how lucky they are. But the truth is, high-paying jobs aren’t as rare as they seem — in fact, they’re often the ones with the most available positions. While you might first need to develop a special set of skills or pursue a particular degree, there are many in-demand jobs with high salaries that are only increasing by the minute as employers struggle to fill them with qualified candidates.

So if one of the following positions looks interesting to you, don’t wait — apply today before everyone else gets in on them!

1. Project Manager

Open Jobs: ~109k

As a project manager, you’ll be responsible for leading projects from inception to execution.
