Job Market In Region again shows continued momentum
(Albany, NY, April 9, 2014) The Region’s job market remained consistently stronger this past seven days – the third week in a row - and is continuing to maintain over 2,000 job postings on average the past seven days. “ This is what we want to see as we start the 2nd quarter, the strongest quarter of the year for hiring. This past week’s national job report was good and this bodes well for the market overall”, stated Dan Moran, President and Founder of Next–Act, a career transition management firm in Colonie.
The regional job market has been strong after a bit of a lull in March. “Many believe it was the weather and I tend to agree that this was an impact. Others believe it was the beginning of the full impact of the Affordable Health Care Act and employer confusion which leads to lower hiring activity, which I believe as well. In short, I do believe it was a combination of factors”. Moran also added that he is beginning to see some early signs of seasonal hiring as the weather breaks which should have a stronger impact on the numbers the next few weeks.
A new category of growing jobs sector
In March, the market produced gains in the category of Professional & Business services. This category covers technical (IT, engineering, etc.) management as well as service –related and administrative jobs, a category that has been rather anemic over the past few years. “ Companies need these jobs to continue growth and in the most recent years, relied on present staff to do the work – often the work on two people – but that has caused turnover necessitating the need to expand to handle the business requirements, which is good news for those seeking jobs in this sector”, continued Moran.
Job postings in the Capital Region were 2,046 compared to approx. 2,040 a week ago – flat Most markets in NYS saw similar results as well. The Capital Region still outpaces Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse for jobs in the market and the Capital Region is much smaller in population and employment than other NYS markets.which renin
