Job Postings Flat Past Week after Run Up

(Albany, NY, January 26, 2011) – After a few weeks of marked increases after the holidays, job postings in the Capital Region were flat at just about 5200, the same as the previous week. Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse posted declines in job postings for the same period, while Metro NYC saw an increase of just about 6%. “The Capital Region continues to report a health number of job postings, a good 1750 – 2000 better than last year at the same time, which demonstrates a period of rebound which is good news,” 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.

As reported, other markets in New York State with the ex caption of NYC saw a level of decrease this past week. 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.
