Job
Postings Consistency Continues – Very Slight Decrease Last Seven Days
(Albany,
NY, August 15, 2012) – The third quarter of 2012 is what analysts
predicted – a stronger job market than the first two quarters. Job postings in
our Region have been consistent and at a higher level than we have seen since
the end of last year. Postings in the region were 1788 compared to just over
1800 the prior seven days. “My advice to job seekers – don’t wait until Fall to
ramp up your search, do it now when jobs are at an increased level”, stated Dan
Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Moran
continue, “Many take the summer off from job search thinking, falsely, that
there are fewer jobs in the summer. No so and really never has been that way.
The quarters of highest hiring by employers in our region is the second and
third quarters – or right now”.
NEW – How many job
postings are there in the United States today? We will be watching this
nationally going forward.
As
of 8/15/12, there are 567,247
job postings in the market. The top five areas for the most jobs per capita:
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.
Other
markets in NYS were up very slightly the past seven days. The Capital Region
still outpaces Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more
employers and population.
