But then that stat is meaningless. I want a million dollars. Who cares? But if employees are moving to new companies for 78k, then I would report “employees want 78k for a new job”. It wouldn’t makes sense to report that “employers don’t want to pay 78k” because they never want to pay anything.
This is worded to make labor seem unreasonable on purpose.
What article are you reading? I’m not seeing anything about “employers refuse to pay 78k”, only that offers are less than that (and still significantly more than what they were this time last year). The article seems to put more stock in the marked difference in demands and offers between women and men.
That’s awesome average jobs are paying 78k! Pretty sure employees don’t demand anything.
Average job seekers want 78k, that doesn’t mean the average job is 78k.
