NEWS ON UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY
Apr 18, 2018
The most important things to gauge during an employment survey are related to the big questions of unemployment. Specifically, for this newsletter segment, we will focus on two questions: Are you currently employed? and How long have you been unemployed?
We’ve included last year’s chart as a comparison as well, to show what differences we can currently see trending.
The information we’ve currently gathered breaks down as follows.
2017
2016
We can see a difference currently in the employment levels, with overall employment up 2%, and in unemployment length, we can see a difference with unemployment of less than a month up 6%, unemployment of less than a year down 13%, and unemployment of 1-6 months down 5%.
While it is still far too early to draw any concrete conclusions, we’re excited to see if this trend continues once our data is fully collected and processed.
