Job
Postings Down As Holiday Hits -
(Albany,
NY, January 23, 2013) – After two good, solid weeks of results and
significant increases in the number of job postings in our region, statewide
and nationally, the market cooled a bit likely the effect of the national
holiday Monday. “When holidays occur during the week and many employers close
down for a day or two, job market activity is affected and we saw this past week beginning last Friday. This will be
temporary for sure”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Postings
came in at just about 1575, down 200 from the week before. “The market is still
stronger than last year at this point and that is a good sign. We are off to a
stronger start than last year and I hope this trend
continues”.
Other
markets in NYS saw the same results and
those markets were down slightly the past seven days. The Capital Region
continues to still outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets
with more employers and population.
