The number of open jobs in the country exceeds the number of unemployed workers, but for many Americans, there is still something standing between them and a job: drug use and drug testing. 

In a tight labor market where job openings outnumber unemployed people, workers have more opportunities to change jobs, leading to increased turnover. Today, Express Employment Professionals is releasing an analysis of job tenure data, which reveals that one-third of job seekers have been in their current jobs for less than three years.

Job openings in America hit a new record high in this month's Bureau of Labor Statistics and a new survey from Express Employment Professionals shows that they should remain high through the second quarter, with hiring particularly strong in the industrial sector. In an Express survey of businesses, 80 percent of respondents said they planned to hire in the second quarter. 

In yet another sign that a 2019 recession is unlikely, the vast majority of businesses in a recent Express Employment Professionals survey reported that they have no plans to cut their workforces. In the survey from Express, respondents were asked whether they planned to eliminate any positions during the second quarter of 2019. Ninety-four percent said they had no such plans.
