This is actually an indication of economic recovery. The H.R. folks that I know are MASSIVELY overworked right now. As their companies begin to start a new hiring cycle they are being just blasted with candidates.

I was talking to an accounting recruiter the other day. They're finally starting to have a decent flow of jobs in the pipeline, but he's being killed by the number of applicants... many of which merely had an accounting class or two in college on the way to their marketing degree.



Perhaps that unemployed are all just trying to create more HR positions in the company so they can apply to those, too!
