Kforce Releases 2011 Salary & Employment Guides (KFRC)

Kforce Inc. KFRC has released its 2011 Salary & Employment Guides, with versions available for Finance & Accounting and Technology specialties. The 2011 guides feature an in-depth examination of the new "war for talent" created by the economy's emergence from recession, as well as salary information by job title for more than 40 major U.S. markets. In addition to salary trends, the 2011 Salary & Employment Guides examine how identifying and retaining resources is becoming increasingly challenging. Frustrated by several years of "carrying the load," employees are beginning to explore new job opportunities. Further, many Baby Boomers are reactivating the retirement plans they put on hold when the economy turned. Together, these trends are resulting in a talent drift that puts employers at risk of losing critical intellectual capital. Employers in the Finance & Accounting and Technology space also face another challenge. High demand for a dwindling supply of highly qualified, college educated professionals has kept unemployment rates low for those in these skilled areas, shrinking the talent pool employers are able to leverage when filling the gaps caused by talent drift.
