Philadelphia – December 19, 2017 – SharedXpertise, publisher of HRO Today, and PeopleScout, a global provider of recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), managed services (MSP) and total workforce solutions, have announced the release of their global unemployment report for the third quarter of 2017.
This report provides companies with global labor market data about employment rates, economic growth and the state of the talent pool in various countries and regions. It provides essential information for predicting high-potential locations for expansion and recruitment, allowing multinational companies to stay competitive in talent acquisition. This edition of the report also provides a regional synopsis of English proficiency for those countries where English is not the primary language.
“Global growth for the rest of the year is projected to continue moderately, and activity in advanced economies that is driven by the United States is also expected to gain momentum,” said Larry Basinait, vice president of market research at SharedXpertise. “However, we caution that comparing unemployment rates among various countries is a challenging task. We encourage you to look at all of the available perspectives in this report to help you analyze the talent environments most appropriate for your organization.”
“In today’s global talent market, it is imperative to consider many of the factors available in these quarterly labor market reports,” said Taryn Owen, president of PeopleScout. “We believe HR professionals will find our analysis valuable as they plan their talent strategy for the new year.”
This study is part of a quarterly series of global labor market data reports. Watch for the report for the fourth quarter of 2017 to be published this winter.
