Eugene, OR Staffing Agencies Experience Challenges in Declining Unemployment Rate

April 29, 2016 – – EUGENE, Ore., April 27, 2016—When attempting to hire and fill positions, employers nationwide have experienced a similar increasing problem. Express Employment Professionals, one of the premium staffing agencies in Eugene, OR, recently released brand-new study results revealing this issue.

The findings originate from a study of 340 companies. Participants were asked, “Currently, how easy is it for you to recruit and fill positions?”

Just 3 percent said “very easy,” while 29 percent said “somewhat easy.” Virtually half, 49 percent, said “somewhat difficult,” 16 percent said “very difficult,” and another three percent said, “I don’t know.”

More participants stated “very difficult” or “somewhat difficult” (65 percent) in this survey than in any of the four hiring trends studies conducted by Express in 2015. The increase in reported difficulty corresponds with the decrease in the unemployment rate.

“As the unemployment rate lowers, it has been increasing difficult for businesses to fill certain positions,” said Renee Loheed, branch manager of the Eugene Express office. “Our main goal at Express is to provide employment in Eugene, OR and we have thus seen steady growth with our assistance in the community.”

The survey of 340 companies, which are previous and present clients of Express Employment Professionals, covers hiring trends for the first quarter of 2016.
