Employment / Unemployment According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. unemployment rate for March 2015 remained unchanged at 5.5 percent. Compared to the national unemployment rate, the rate for computer related occupations remains very low at 2.0 percent for March. (A decrease of 0.8 percent from March 2014.) An estimated 5.0 million job openings existed the last business day of January versus 8.6 million* unemployed people looking for work. The hires rate (3.5%) and separations rate (3.4%) changed little in January. Over the 12 months ending January 2015, hires totaled 59.1m & separations totaled 56.0m, yielding a net employment gain of 3.1m.
