Job Postings Continue To Slump During Holidays
(Albany, NY, December 28, 2010) – Job postings dropped yet again this week as the holiday slowdown continues and goes deeper. Job postings traditionally decrease just before and right after major holidays, and this December is no different. Postings the past week were just about 4450, down 7% from last week and off 20% from mid-December. “I fully expected to see postings drop off again this week in our Region and the State. This is traditional drop as many employers are on reduced hours or staff during the holiday week. We will see a rebound in January if history proves again right”, 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.
Other markets in New York State fell into the same pattern with consistent decreases in job posting activity. While a smaller market, the Capital Region still outpaces other NYS markets (with the exception of metro NYC). This has been consistent for well over three years.
#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.
