Job
Postings Flat Even in a Holiday Week – Indication of Strength
(Albany,
NY, February 20, 2013) – While Job postings in our region were flat
the past seven days consistent with the prior seven-day period, there is
strength in the number. “With a national holiday this week and many people on
vacation, job postings typically fall quite a bit but this year job postings
did not drop significantly during the holiday week. Monday was weak but
postings quickly rebounded and improved at daily rates higher that we have seen
for awhile. Postings this past week were on average 1,755
compared to 1,766 the week before” stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Other
markets in NYS saw similar results. The Capital Region continues to still
outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more employers
and population.
National
Job Scene
Job
postings increased slightly nationally. As
of 2/20/2013 there were 579,132 job postings this past seven
days, up from 556,667 the week prior, a very small change.
