Job openings are on the rise.
A recent report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicated that there were more than 3 million job listings at the end of February.
The BLS’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey for the month of February was released on Wednesday, April 13, and indicated that there were 3.1 million job openings listed on the last business day of the year’s second month.
These numbers represented an increase of 2.3 percent over the previous month, meaning that there are more opportunities for people who have been out of work. The number of job openings at the end of January was 2.7 million.
Stress management is essential when coping with unemployment as not having a job can lead to many problems not only financially but personally. Activities such as yoga can help one find his or her center and put perspective on their situation.
According to the BLS, the job opening numbers are trending upward since they bottomed out in June 2009 but they remain well below the numbers from December 2007, when the recession began.
