Power dynamic "might have tilted a bit in favor" of employees as job openings rise, LinkedIn economist says

Workers may be gaining more bargaining power over potential employers as businesses struggle to fill open positions, LinkedIn's chief economist Karin Kimbrough said Monday.
"We've seen a surge in employers looking to bring on new workers. At the same time, maybe the job seekers haven't responded at the same pace. I don't think there's a shortage of workers, I think workers are still navigating a lot of the aftereffects of the shutdown," Kimbrough told CBSN anchor Lana Zak during the special "Employment in America: A Shifting Workforce." Kimbrough said some workers may not have child care or still perceive the risk of returning to work as being too high for the wages offered.More Related News
