Compliance Officer Talent Shortage Intensifies Recruitment Competition

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/05/2022 -- The market for legal compliance jobs is vibrant right now, as a combination of factors creates a spike in demand for talented people. The tightening of the labor market, combined with a range of constantly evolving regulatory pressures means that organizations are increasingly looking to build stronger internal compliance teams that can insulate against increasing regulatory scrutiny. Competition for corporations seeking to attract talent is tight and many are offering a range of incentives, from high salaries to much more flexible working conditions. As a result, the nationwide unemployment rate for compliance officers fell to 2.4% in 2021, according to the National Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is compared to the overall national average unemployment rate of 5.3% in the same period. Average salaries are also moving in the right direction, with a 1.5% increase in salary data for a compliance chief in 2022 over the figures for the previous year.

Legal compliance jobs continue to be a hot market in the US, as the figures from the National Bureau of Labor Statistics demonstrate.
