WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Forty-three percent of Americans say it
is a good time to
find a quality job. While this reading is similar to the 40% to
45% recorded in
2016 so far, it is on the high end of Gallup's trend since 2001.
The percentage
saying it is a good time to find a quality job has ranged from a
low of 8% in 2009
and 2011 to a high of 48% in January 2007.
Americans' perceptions of the U.S. job market bottomed out
after the Great

2. Recession but steadily rebounded from 2012 to 2014, reaching a
recent high of
45% in January 2015. Since then, the percentage saying now is
a good time to
find a quality job has hovered around 40%, similar to levels
seen in 2006 and
2007.

The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics employment report
released on June 3
raised concerns about the health of the job market. That report
came out while
the latest update on Gallup's quality job question was in the
field from June 1-5.
An analysis of responses by day of interview shows that
Americans were just as
positive about the job market after the report's release as they
were before it.
Employed Adults More Optimistic Than Nonworking Adults
About Job Market
Views of the job market vary significantly by employment
status. While half of
employed Americans (51%) say it is a "good time" to find a
quality job, only a
third of adults who are not currently working (33%) say it is a
ripe time for job
seekers.
In 2013, employed and unemployed adults' views of the job

Both working and nonworking adults have grown more
optimistic about the job
market, but confidence has picked up much more among the
employed.

Employed Americans' more positive evaluation of the job
market is consistent
with employed Americans' solid gains in perceptions of hiring
in their workplaces
over the past seven years.
Full-Time Workers, Students Most Positive About Job Market
Confidence in the job market also varies by subgroup within the
category of
those who are employed. Full-time employed Americans are
much more likely
than part-time employees to say it is a good time to find a
quality job, 50% vs.
39%, respectively. These data are based on combined responses
from 2015
and 2016 so far.
Students (51%), who may expect to land a job upon completion
of their
education, seem to share the same optimism for the job market
as those who
already have a full-time job. Meanwhile, 36% of unemployed
job seekers say it is
a good time to find a job.

4. Optimism is lower among other nonworking adults, including
the retired (31%),
disabled (29%) and the unemployed who are not actively
looking for a job (28%).

Bottom Line
The dismal BLS employment report for May seems to have done
little to shake
Americans' views about the job market, with the percentage of
Americans
saying it is a good time to find a quality job being on the higher
end of Gallup's
trend since 2001.

5. Americans' improving outlook for the job market since 2013 has
primarily been
influenced by employed adults, with those having a full-time
job, along with
students, the most optimistic about the job market. Americans
who have not
found full-time employment -- including those who are working
part time and
those who are unemployed and looking for work -- are
somewhat less positive
about the market. To some degree, then, Americans' own
employment status
shapes their perceptions of the U.S. job market.
Historical data are available in Gallup Analytics.

Riordan Manufacturing
Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer
employing 550 people with projected annual earnings of $46
million. The company is wholly owned by Riordan Industries, a
Fortune 1000 enterprise with revenues in excess of $1 billion.
Its products include plastic beverage containers produced at its
plant in Albany, Georgia, custom plastic parts produced at its
plant in Pontiac, Michigan, and plastic fan parts produced at its
facilities in Hangzhou, China. The company's research and
development is done at the corporate headquarters in San Jose.

9. Riordan's major customers are automotive parts manufacturers,
aircraft manufacturers, the Department of Defense, beverage
makers and bottlers, and appliance manufacturers.
History
The company was founded by Dr. Riordan, a professor of
chemistry, who had obtained several patents relative to
processing polymers into high tensile strength plastic
substrates. Sensing the commercial applications for his patents,
Dr. Riordan started Riordan Plastics, Inc. in 1991.
Initially, the company's focus was on research and development
and the licensing of its existing patents, but in 1992 Dr. Riordan
obtained venture capital which he used to purchase a fan
manufacturing plant in Pontiac, MI. At that time, the company's
name was changed to "Riordan Manufacturing, Inc." In 1993,
the company expanded into the production of plastic beverage
containers when it acquired a manufacturing plant in Albany,
GA.
The company's most recent expansion took place in 2000 when
it opened its operations in China. At that time, the entire fan
manufacturing operation was moved from Michigan to China
and the Pontiac, MI facility was retooled for the manufacture of
custom plastic parts.

62. Americans Remain Relatively
Optimistic About Job Market
BY J U S T I N M C C A R T H Y
S TO R Y H I G H L I G H T S
Forty-three percent say it's a "good time" to find a job
Half of employed Americans say it's a good time
12/4/19, 4:47 PM
Page 1 of 7
Full-time employees, students most upbeat about job market
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Forty-three percent of Americans say it
is a good time to
find a quality job. While this reading is similar to the 40% to
45% recorded in
2016 so far, it is on the high end of Gallup's trend since 2001.
The percentage
saying it is a good time to find a quality job has ranged from a
low of 8% in 2009
and 2011 to a high of 48% in January 2007.
Americans' perceptions of the U.S. job market bottomed out
after the Great
Recession but steadily rebounded from 2012 to 2014, reaching a
recent high of
45% in January 2015. Since then, the percentage saying now is
a good time to
find a quality job has hovered around 40%, similar to levels
seen in 2006 and
2007.

63. 12/4/19, 4:47 PM
Page 2 of 7
The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics employment report
released on June 3
raised concerns about the health of the job market. That report
came out while
the latest update on Gallup's quality job question was in the
field from June 1-5.
An analysis of responses by day of interview shows that
Americans were just as
positive about the job market after the report's release as they
were before it.
Employed Adults More Optimistic Than Nonworking Adults
About Job Market
Views of the job market vary significantly by employment
status. While half of
employed Americans (51%) say it is a "good time" to find a
quality job, only a
third of adults who are not currently working (33%) say it is a
ripe time for job
seekers.
In 2013, employed and unemployed adults' views of the job
market were similar.
Both working and nonworking adults have grown more
optimistic about the job
market, but confidence has picked up much more among the
employed.
12/4/19, 4:47 PM

64. Employed Americans' more positive evaluation of the job
market is consistent
with employed Americans' solid gains in perceptions of hiring
in their workplaces
over the past seven years.
Full-Time Workers, Students Most Positive About Job Market
Confidence in the job market also varies by subgroup within the
category of
those who are employed. Full-time employed Americans are
much more likely
than part-time employees to say it is a good time to find a
quality job, 50% vs.
39%, respectively. These data are based on combined responses
from 2015
and 2016 so far.
Students (51%), who may expect to land a job upon completion
of their
education, seem to share the same optimism for the job market
as those who
already have a full-time job. Meanwhile, 36% of unemployed
job seekers say it is
a good time to find a job.
Optimism is lower among other nonworking adults, including
the retired (31%),
disabled (29%) and the unemployed who are not actively
looking for a job (28%).

Bottom Line
The dismal BLS employment report for May seems to have done
little to shake
Americans' views about the job market, with the percentage of
Americans
saying it is a good time to find a quality job being on the higher
end of Gallup's
trend since 2001.
Americans' improving outlook for the job market since 2013 has
primarily been
influenced by employed adults, with those having a full-time
job, along with
students, the most optimistic about the job market. Americans
who have not
found full-time employment -- including those who are working
part time and

66. those who are unemployed and looking for work -- are
somewhat less positive
about the market. To some degree, then, Americans' own
employment status
shapes their perceptions of the U.S. job market.
Historical data are available in Gallup Analytics.
Survey Methods
