FedListens 2023: Transitioning to the Post-Pandemic Economy   Questionnaire

Panel I: Labor Market Transitions: Recruiting and Retention

The unemployment rate is currently as low as it was in 2019, but data for job openings, quits, and rising wages suggest the labor market is much tighter now. How has the labor market changed since the pandemic, and if so, how have those changes affected businesses and the pool of potential employees?
1.How have changes in the available workforce since the start of the pandemic impacted businesses’ ability to hire the workers they seek?
2.Are businesses hiring types of workers that are different from the types they hired before the pandemic? Are these changes intentional, or are they based on difficulty in hiring?
3.Have workers’ changing preferences and/or availability influenced the ways firms conduct job searches and/or the benefits and supports they offer new hires?
4.How have workers’ job searches and/or decisions to seek a new position changed since the pandemic? Are workers seeking or securing non-traditional forms of employment more regularly (contract, part-time, multiple jobs) than they did before the pandemic?
