A recent LinkedIn Workforce Confidence Survey reveals that job searches take longer than many could expect. More than half (53%) of active job seekers in the United States have been searching for at least six months, while over a third (34%) has been leading for one year or more.
However, not all job hunters face long -term searches. About 5% of respondents had been a job hunt for only a week when they were examined and 16% had been looking for about a month. Meanwhile, 17% had searched for three months and 19% had reached the six-month brand.
The study conducted between mid-December and mid-January includes a mix of job-seeking-boats unemployed and those employed or full time exploring new opportunities.
These findings highlight the reality of today’s job market: While some find opportunities quickly, many job seekers have to prepare for a search that can last several months or longer.
