“Education plays a vital role in a person’s prospect of finding employment and retaining it. “Education continues to play an important role in the labour market. While South Africa lost 1 million jobs between 2016 and 2021, by the end of Q4 2022, this has climbed to a net gain of 154,000 jobs. Unemployment increased progressively with lower education levels, however. Those with higher levels of education stand a better chance in employment meaning people with tertiary education are more likely to be employed compared to people with matric and below matric education levels,” the group said. New data from Stats SA shows that unemployment is rising among all levels of education in South Africa, but those with a tertiary qualification still have the best chance of finding a job.

(That said, just 16% of the new hires ZipRecruiter spoke with said they were forced out of their previous job.) Even though job growth has become more concentrated in fewer industries after many months of incredible broadness across the economy, Pollack says it’s still “firing on all cylinders” in industries Americans are spending on like healthcare, leisure, and hospitality. And men were more than twice as likely as women to describe their current job as their “dream job.” The good news is that 70% of those people who did [switch jobs](https://fortune.com/2022/04/23/job-hunting-overqualified-experienced-candidates/) saw an increase in their pay, with the average increase coming in at 25%.

For professionals with an extended career break, returnship programs provide a way back to work. Companies are starting to recognize their benefits, too.

Not only can returnships normalize return-to-work following career breaks, they can also keep more women in senior roles, and contribute to the end of the gender pay gap. For those who have taken an extended career break, returnships can provide a pathway back into the workforce, plus a reboot of their technical skills and confidence. Yana Rodgers, the director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University, says she’s spoken to women whose qualifications have been questioned because of a career break. “It’s not just about what’s new in technology, it’s also adapting to the new workplace because things change so quickly,” says PwC’s Yanoff. According to The Mom Project, a talent marketplace for women, the majority of returnships have a participant-to-hire rate of at least 80%. “Women are being tracked into these lower-paying jobs, whether it’s before they have kids, while they have kids, or after they have kids.” Returnships are one way of keeping women on an upward career trajectory. Returnships provide a way to reenter the workforce without starting over at the bottom. “We take a lunch break and we talk,” she says. “They know themselves better, they have lived more life, they have a better sense of where they can add value to an organization,” she says. “Training on how to collaborate, how to engage, how to be virtual, how to be in presentations. And while the effects of Covid have helped to normalize career breaks, professionals who have stepped away for more than a few years still find it difficult to return. “They’re in a relatively stable life stage, and they have an energy and enthusiasm about returning to work.”

Last Updated on 17th March 2023. Jalees Ahmad, Al Hakam. Ayyub. Job^as, commonly known and referred to as أيوب [Ayyub] in Islam, was a prophet of Allah.

This description and account provide some insight into the landscape that Jobas had to navigate during his migration and was told “by God to urge on his riding beast as there lay ahead a fountain of cool, sweet water where he could take rest, satisfy his thirst and take a bath.” (Five Volume Commentary, Vol.4, p. A study of this scene reminds the reader of the migration of the Holy Prophetsa, from Mecca to Medina. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Ira states that this was in fact a prophecy, as the Holy Prophetsa was also, soon, to migrate to Medina. With a study of the verse, one can deduce that Jobas had to travel through a hilly area that contained springs and fountains. Here, he was commanded to strike and urge his riding beast with his foot so that he could quickly reach a place of safety. Satan complained to God about Jobas, alleging that he was insincere in his worship and merely did it to keep his wealth and the riches he was granted. Here, in this verse, the word shaitan refers to the cruel leader of that time. “The story of Jobas is said to bear a close resemblance to that of Harish Chander, a Hindu saint and a rich man. He endured many hardships in his life and became separated from his family and followers. He added that some Muslim commentators and Western scholars say that Jobas was a descendant of Esau, the elder brother of Israelas, the son of Isaacas. It is mentioned in the Bible that he lived in “the land of Uz.” (Job, 1:1). It is said that Jobas lived there before the departure of the Israelites from Egypt.” (Five Volume Commentary, Vol.4, p.2108)
