Did you know that, on average, a company loses more than $14,000 for every job that stays vacant for three months or longer? That one in six companies
loses $25,000 or more?*




Considering the fact that more than half (54 percent) of employers currently have open positions for which they can￢ﾀﾙt find qualified candidates - and 35
percent of all employers have positions that stay open for 12 weeks or longer1- those costs can add up quickly and have broader implications for
business performance.


CareerBuilder￢ﾀﾙs latest study on the effects of the skills gap on the U.S. labor market was conducted online by Harris Poll from October 17 to November 6,
2013, and included a representative sample of 1,025 employers, 1,524 job seekers and 205 academics nationwide. Click here to view CareerBuilder￢ﾀﾙs fu http://www.careerbuilder.com/share/aboutus/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?id=pr807&sd=3/6/2014&ed=03/06/2014
