Companies hiring in large volume

The road to economic recovery has been bumpy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 47 states have registered unemployment rate decreases from a year prior, but the national unemployment rate hasn’t changed much over the past few months, causing some job seekers to get discouraged.  

Good news: CareerBuilder’s latest companies hiring report shows that jobs are available. The new list includes companies that are not only hiring, but hiring in large volume. More than 19,000 positions from 13 companies are featured, covering a wide range of industries and occupations. Some companies are even hiring in the thousands.

“Recent job reports have reflected the ongoing struggle employers have had in a tough economic climate,” says Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder. “Although employers are cautious, they continue to invest in growing their businesses and their employee base. We’re seeing an upward trend in job listings for everything from information technology, retail and financial services to health-care and energy-related fields.”
