Day Holiday
(Albany,
NY, September 28, 2013) – Consistent with past years and other
major holidays, the job market went on holiday as the number of available jobs
dropped in all areas including the Capital Region, other New York State markets
and nationally. “This drop was fully expected and consistent with other years.
I forecasted this last week, and the forecast held true”, stated Dan Moran, of
Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Job
postings the past seven days were 1700 compared to 1828 the week before . “Our
market was down but did not drop as significantly as the national market and
trends from previous years; the market appears to be continually strong and
consistent “.
Other
markets in NYS posted similar lower results. The Capital Region continues
to still outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more
employers and population.
National
Job Scene
On
the national level, job postings were down sharply to about 497,500 compared to
