[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to know more about how the official statistics are calculated. [b] I recently heard about the phenomenon of “ghost jobs” where companies advertise positions that they never intend to fill. [/b]Apparently this is a growing trend, but I don’t know how it might affect the statistics about job growth.[/quote] This is interesting— why are they doing this?[/quote] NP and I saw this too. There's data that about 20% of job postings are fake. Part of it is companies that want to give the impression they are still growing and others want to collect resumes in case they see an exceptional candidate. Neither of these is a good reason to subject people to the misery of the job apication process when there isn't really a job to fill.[/quote]
