Job Postings Drop Yet Again Past Week – All New York State Markets Affected

(Albany, NY, June 30, 2010) – Job postings in the Capital Region dropped again this past week, coming in at just over 4850, down from 5100 last week and 5600 the previous week. This down trend was seen in all other tracked New York State markets as well indicating that employers have cooled hiring plans. “Lingering concerns over the State budget situation and uncertainties in the market appear to be sending message of caution and that is reflected in hiring plans”, stated Dan Moran, Founder & President of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition management firm located in Colonie. Moran assists individuals in identifying new careers and also those in the midst of a job search and needing direction. His firm also tracks the job market on a regional and statewide basis.

“While down this past few weeks, job postings are far better than last year at this time. For the month of June, postings were up 66% over 2009 for the same period and that is certainly good news”.

The Capital Region continues to outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse for job postings. The Capital Region is the smallest of all these markets as well. Other NYS markets saw some increases this past seven days,

# Background#

Job postings in the Region are normally in the baseline of 4000 – 4900 on a weekly basis and 7-day rolling average, consistent for this area. Monitoring job postings is a leading indicator of hiring within the following 30-45 days. This methodology is utilized by reading research houses nationally and is employed in the Region by Moran’s firm. For the purpose of reporting, the Region is defined as a 50 mile radius of Albany.
