U.S. Workforce Volatility Spikes Nearly 70% in Q2 2021, According to Workforce Logiq's Latest Predictive Benchmark ReportWorkforce Logiq, a global provider of AI-powered workforce intelligence, technology, and services, today released its Workforce Management Employee Predictive Volatility Benchmark Flash Report Q2 2021. The analysis reveals a 69% quarterly increase in the number of workers in top volatility categories. This spike, which follows three consecutive quarters of improvement in the Top 35 job categories, is 14% higher than the workforce volatility during the peak of the pandemic, which brought a record-breaking unemployment rate. This predictive benchmark indicates more U.S. professional and knowledge workers will be open to changing jobs and taking unsolicited recruiting calls over the next 60-90 days. "As pandemic life recedes, U.S. workers are actively rethinking their job and career choices and searching for roles that offer more money, flexibility, advancement opportunities, and more, which is leading to a dramatic increase in employee resignations," said Jim Burke, Workforce Logiq's CEO. "Our quarterly and year-over-year predictive volatility benchmarks highlight the impact of this 'Great Resignation' period and indicate this trend will continue well into the fall." Other key findings from the analysis include:
The market analysis is based on proprietary and predictive insight from Workforce Logiq's Total Talent Intelligence® platform and examines workforce volatility across states, metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), job functions, and major industry sectors. Workforce Logiq uses proprietary AI models to calculate industry, company, and candidate-specific Talent Retention Risk (TRR) ScoresSM and predict the likelihood of professional and knowledge workers being receptive to unsolicited recruiting messages and job opportunities over the next 60-90 days. The company tracks, aggregates, and analyzes more than 2,000 events, triggers, and shocks that can impact employment volatility - macroeconomic trends, company-level social media and news sentiment, employee churn indicators, industry news and events, and more - from more than one billion data points, 40,000 sources, and analytics on over 19 million global companies. Workforce Logiq's predictive data science and Likely to ENGAGE algorithm were featured in a Harvard Business Review article. Candidates that Workforce Logiq identified as "most likely" to be receptive to new job opportunities were twice as receptive to unsolicited recruitment messages and 63% more likely to change jobs compared to those identified as "unlikely" to be receptive.
