Job
Postings Increase After Thanksgiving Holiday - Up 18% Past Week
(Albany,
NY, December 5, 2012) – As expected, after the long Thanksgiving
holiday when job market activity usually drops, the Regional job market is
recovering growing close to 18% in one week, welcome news for job seekers.
“Over the past few weeks, just before and during the holiday week, I was
hearing from those in the market who were concerned that job opportunities were
far fewer that a few weeks past. This is common and expected; our regional job
market goes quiet just before and right after a major holiday like we saw this
year. What I look for is the recovery – and it is happening now, day by day”,
stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition
management firm located in Colonie.
Job
postings in the Region were 1560 the past week, compared to 1330 the week
before showing a positive increase. “Job seekers – take advantage of this
window now and up until about a week before Christmas as there is plenty of
year-end hiring yet to occur”.
Other
markets in NYS, with the exception of NYC, were down the past seven days and
continued to recover or hold steady after the holiday indicating a lower demand
than the Capital Region. The Capital Region continues to still outpace Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more employers and
population.
National
Job Scene
As
of 11/28/12, there were, on a seven-day-average, 529,806 national job
postings showing recovery after the holiday 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.
