Job
Postings Drop Back after Strong Week
(Albany,
NY, September 26, 2012) – After a very strong week last week, when job
postings soared by 20% in one week alone, the market cooled a bit and every
market in NYS was slightly down from the week before. “It was quite and
increase and often we see this occur – a good strong week with a week to follow
that is slightly off. The good news – we held the increase showing marked
improvement in the Regional job market, as well as in other markets in the
state. In the Capital Region, postings came in at 1670, slightly below last
week’s 1,740”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition
management firm located in Colonie.
As
stated, other markets in NYS were slightly down as well. The Capital Region
still outpaces Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more
employers and population.
National
Job Scene
How
many job postings are there in the United States today? We will be watching
this nationally going forward.
As
of 9/26/12, there were, on a seven-day-average, 557,225
national job postings, down 7.4% . “Employers seem to be holding
back for sure on hiring and I think this will be the case through Election Day
or end of the year”, stated Moran. indicating a more sluggish national
market than our Region. The
top five areas for the most jobs per capita 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.
