he first quarter of 2019 is upon us. We are experiencing one of the tightest labor markets in U.S. history. Unemployment rates are near a 50-year low and qualified accounting, finance and information technology (IT) professionals remain in high demand.
Further, businesses are reporting unprecedented numbers of open positions and record-high plans to hire accounting, finance and IT professionals for at least the next 12 months.
