Job
Postings Flat in Region after big drop week before -
(Albany,
NY, July 3, 2013) – Job postings were flat the past seven days
after a hefty drop last week by 13%. “I really thought we might see the job
market go down again in advance of the holiday, but it did not happen to the
degree that was expected. Postings were unchanged at 1720”, stated Dan Moran,
of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie. Moran added,
“As
we begin a longer holiday period, we expect that the market would get rather
quiet as vacations and lower business
activity take their toll and we could see this happen tomorrow or early next
week. But for now – flat is better than down!”
Other
markets in NYS posted similar results with flat or very slight decreases.. The
Capital Region continues to still outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all
larger markets with more employers and population.
National

the national level, job postings began to rally a bit after a few weeks of
