Job
Postings Flat Nationally and Regionally – New York City struggling to
recover after Sandy; job postings drop better than 30%
(Albany,
NY, November 14, 2012) – The job market in the Capital Region and
the state is flat – without any movement one way or the other which has been
consistent for a few weeks now, starting just before Election day. “Employers
are pausing for sure, and as national surveys are indicating, holding pat on
hiring and as we hear, on spending as well until they better understand the
short-term financial picture which is not what we wanted to see as the 4th
quarter opened so strong and it is now stuck with little progress when we need
it”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition
management firm located in Colonie.
Not
a surprise, the Metro NYC job market has continued to suffer after plummeting
some 30% after Sandy and now appears to be stuck at that level which is not
good news for the State’s largest job market. Other markets in NYS were flat as
well. The Capital Region still outpaces Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all
larger markets with more employers and population.
National
Job Scene
As
of 10/31/12, there were, on a seven-day-average, 517,642 national
job postings, with hardly a very, very slight change from the week before. “The
market is stuck in neutral; we need to see what Washington will be doing before
any real change can be expected”. 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.
