Hiring rebounds as 211,000 jobs added in April; unemployment at 10-year low

At a time when politics are the center of every discussion---I quite frankly avoid it at all costs---articles like this one I came across today make me smile, given my job field. According to USA Today 211,000 jobs were ADDED to the market in April and unemployment is at a 10- year LOW!

What this means in Talent Acquisition is that it is increasingly harder to find top talent to fill the open roles that we do have. We have to be more open on finding those that mark all the boxes we are looking for and have to make sure we highlight why we are the organization you should choose.

What that means for candidates looking for jobs is that you can now be more selective and increase your value because organizations will likely equal or come close to your wish for salary because demand is high but supply is low. It also means that you shouldn't settle for just salary but look at the whole picture such as benefits and growth potential. One organization may pay more but offer little upward growth in the near future. At SCA we are constantly focused on growth and we like to hire those we can expect to continue to drive their career within 2-3 years of hire. So my point is while this is great news for the economy it means for you as a candidate and us as employers we need to do our homework, listen to what we are being told, and ask the right questions to find the right place or person for your future.

Anyone have anything they would add?
