Job
Postings Drop Significantly During Thanksgiving Holiday
(Albany,
NY, November 29, 2012) – As expected, the job market in the Capital
Region as well as nationally dropped significantly that past week falling 22%
in one week in our area.” This was not unexpected at all with the lead up to
the Thanksgiving holiday. This year we saw job market activity drop
significantly the Tuesday before the holiday and this continued through this
past Tuesday. Good news is that the market seems to be recovering the past few
days”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition
management firm located in Colonie.
Moran
continued, “Once again this year I stress to those in the market looking
for job. Do not put your resume on the shelf for the month thinking
employers are not hiring in December. There is no data to support this and
often just the opposite as hiring managers scurry to fill jobs before the
end of the calendar year. Rather than hold back and wait until January, make
more contacts and put more emphasis into your search activity this month”.
Other
markets in NYS reflect the same situation. The Capital Region still outpaces
Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more employers and
population.
National
Job Scene
As
of 11/28/12, there were, on a seven-day-average, 455,017
national
job postings showing the effect of the holiday as well. The top
five areas for the most jobs per capita still continue to remain unchanged: San
Jose, CA, Washington DC, Boston, MA, Raleigh, NC and Oklahoma City, OK. There
is one job posting per unemployed person in each of these markets meaning the
market is much less competitive.
