Job
Postings Flat in Region – Big Drop in NYC
(Albany,
NY, October 31, 2012) – After dropping 7% the week prior, job
postings bottomed out and were flat the past seven days, with the exception of
the NYC Metro market that saw a 9% in one day drop likely the effect of the
devastating weather situation. “The storm situation, Presidential Election on
our doorstep and the potential effects upon the general economy by the fiscal
cliff on 12/31/12, has taken the wind out of job growth. The CEO Roundtable
Report this past week stated it well – 34% of employers who were planning to
hire in the 4th quarter now are in a holding pattern. The President
election is huge – there is so much uncertainty in the market it is
unsettling”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition
management firm located in Colonie.
Postings
dropped from 1585 to 1533 to 1585. Other markets in NYS dropped 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, 521,949 national
job postings, down slightly from the week before which is of little
significance. 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.
