Job
Market Flat Past Seven Days Showing Strength and Consistency
(Albany,
NY, August 21, 2013) – Job postings continued to hold at the
highest levels we have seen in quite some time, and analysts agree – this is
good. “As I have repeated, consistency is the key – we are holding at higher
number of jobs than in recent years, indicating strength in the market and
employer confidence – and that is huge!. This is on the heels of a NYS Dept. of
Labor report indicating that unemployment was down in all regions of the state
indicating that the recovery continues”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Job
postings the past seven days were 1990 compared to 1980 the week before –
hardly a difference. “ On a day-to-day basis, the Region is producing over 2,000
jobs – and in all sectors it appears. In addition, the public sector has
curtailed cutting jobs and the public sector continues to add jobs at a strong
pace”.
Other
markets in NYS posted similar results. The Capital Region continues to
still outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more
employers and population.
National
Job Scene
On
the national level, job postings were down slightly at 553,000 compared to
561,000 the week before, up slightly.
