【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, May 11, 2022】 It has been a year since the U.S. economy recovered after the epidemic. The job market is still full of vacancies, and recruiters are exhausted. In order to grab talents, all the benefits are on the table. (Hiring image from Alliance Employment Services. Com)
The post-pandemic economic recovery has proven that jobseekers come first. Last year, nearly 48 million people resigned and 76 million changed jobs across the United States. According to the latest labor statistics, there are currently 11 million vacancies in the labor market. People have about two job opportunities.
"If the current labor market is a golden age for workers, it presents challenges for recruiters who can't adapt to the new world at hand," said Pete Lamson, chief executive of Employ, the parent company of several recruiters. .
Recruiters start a war for recruits, high decibels claim that pay grades are soaring, offer generous benefits, put everything on the table, do everything possible to attract talents, and try to prevent opponents from taking advantage.
Some states and cities require companies to explicitly disclose wages, Colorado has done so, New York City is about to follow, and pay transparency is increasingly important. Angela Copeland, senior vice president of marketing at Recruiter.com, said more forward-looking companies are advertising high salaries to attract talent.
Salary grades have also been raised. Copeland recently heard that someone was aggressively recruited by a competitor, and the salary for the person being aggressively recruited was three times the original salary. Those who were aggressively recruited and hired did not even actively seek jobs, so they easily tripled their salary, and their original salary was pretty good. Most people seek a raise by changing jobs, and the raises are much more aggressive today than in the past.
For companies that hire people face-to-face, advertising high salaries is especially important, says Erica Thomas, a Florida tech recruiter. It's hard to invite people who have traditionally worked remotely to come in for an on-site interview, but if you come up with a high enough salary range , the situation is very different.
Thomas added that there are four to eight seconds of on-site interviews to grab the attention of job seekers, whether they are actively or passively looking for a job, in short, everyone must want to know how much they can get paid.
Paul McDonald, senior executive director of management consultancy Robert Half, said high pay and remote work were the top priorities for many job seekers, with employers scrambling to offer the latest and greatest perks, including four-day workweeks and flexible hours. Flexibility (popular among caregivers), paid time off (attractive in a high-inflation environment), and reimbursable phone and internet billing costs associated with working from home.
Crystal Brown-Tatum, a human resources director based in Dallas, Texas, began rewriting all job statements at the company she worked for to put employee benefits first, arguing that job seekers basically knew what job they were applying for and were right. The applicant company has a basic understanding. It is unnecessary to go into details. It is better to spend your precious time touting all the benefits provided by the company.
McDonnell said the company's willingness to ask less questions is an extra bargaining chip that can help shorten hiring times. In a Robert Half survey of more than 2,800 senior managers in July 2021, 48% offered signing bonuses, 43% offered more paid time off, and 40% offered better positions to attract talent.
Lauren Rackley, 31, recently landed a job at a new pharmaceutical factory and received a $19,500 moving bonus to move from North Carolina to Florida; she's never gotten more than $5,000 in moving allowances when she's changed jobs across the country in the past. But she received a record-breaking amount this time.
Tatum herself is a recruiter, and she saw fierce competition among job seekers when she was applying for jobs; since the outbreak, she has accepted two new jobs and received an average of two job postings a week. It was "Would you like to talk?" Now it's more like "We have this job we want you to take." She received a job offer not long ago, offering $40,000 more than her current salary.
Recruiters typically respond within 24 hours of applicants' applications, Tatum said; as job negotiations pick up speed, she's seen eight people leave the same workplace within a month, all of whom with incomes in the six figures and people easily forgoing $100,000 a year, it's a sign of how tight the job market is.
Recruiters have recently relaxed requirements for education, work experience or work location, as long as the job title matches, thereby broadening their job search network on LinkedIn. This is a good time to change careers, Ramson said, as recruiters look beyond framework requirements and focus more on employee competencies, qualifications and attitudes, and the workforce moves across industries.
However, it’s hard to target precisely when trying to broaden the scope of the job search; Copeland has found that more and more recruiters use LinkedIn to send potential candidates a three-minute video, inviting applications, which is different but time-consuming.
Occasionally, recruiters may reconsider previous applicants and talk to previously rejected applicants.

【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, May 9, 2022】In mid-April, this year, one of the newspaper headlines was “ North Korea's 'national treasure' TV anchor 'wept all night' after Kim Jong-un gave her luxury home.”(Ri Chun Hi's Photo from Korean News Agency)

So who is Ri Chun Hi, North Korea “national treasure “ TV anchor? The 79-year-old joined state TV in the early 1970s when the country was still governed by Kim Il Sung, and she has gradually become the face and voice of the country’s propaganda-driven news broadcasts.( Ri Chun Hi joined state TV in the early 1970s.Credit: Korean Central Television)
Her close ties to Kim were shown last year at a government foundation anniversary ceremony when she watched from an elevated veranda right next to Kim, and at one point put her hand on his shoulder and whispered to him.
At another event, she was the first person to shake Kim's hand before holding his arm and posing for a group photo.
Moon, the analyst, said Ri receives Cabinet member-level treatment at home, appears healthy and is expected to continue to handle key televised announcements for at least the next few years.
Ri's passionate, effusive style has sometimes generated laughter in other countries. In 2011, a Taiwanese TV station apologized after one of its newsreaders mimicked the tone Ri used when she announced the death of Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il.
Since inheriting power upon his father's death, Kim has led North Korea with absolute authority.
But he is facing one of the toughest moments of his rule after the coronavirus pandemic shocked an economy already in dire shape from mismanagement and US-led sanctions.

【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, May 7, 2022】 Animal welfare charities say they've seen a huge spike in the number of people struggling to afford to keep pets. (Pets image. Credit: CBC News)
The cost-of-living crisis has seen a rise in demand for pet food banks, and more owners are giving up their pets altogether.
Blue cross has a network of food banks across the North of England, including in Sheffield with a new service recently opening in Grimsby to help alleviate some of the strain faced by pet owners.
The charity is already seeing an influx from vulnerable community members, with Sheffield's January to March figures demonstrating a stark contrast to 2021.
Demand for dry dog food was up 105%, wet cat food has experienced a 297% increase, with demand for dry dog food up 717%.
Since opening its pet food bank in Grimsby as part of a pilot scheme in January this year, Blue Cross says demand has been high, with currently around 25 families each week using the service.
Hospital lead, Ryan Rouse, says: "Local businesses and other people in the local community have really supported with the pilot scheme.
"And it's grown bigger than what we could have anticipated in such a short period of time, so we are officially launching on the 22nd of June."
But he admits he did not anticipate how emotional it would become for him and the team: "I remember the first person who came in for the food bank, there were some tears amongst the team.
"Just that this is something that we can really make a difference."
Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in Sheffield has experienced a huge increase in the number of pets being dropped off.
Helen Connolly has worked at the sanctuary for five years, she says: "Things are incredibly difficult at the moment, we're having to turn animals away, which is the last thing that we want to do at Thornberry.
"In my five years here, I've never seen it as busy with people handing over animals into our care."
