Market Slumps – Appears fears related to Government shutdown taking hold
Albany,
NY, October 9, 2013) – After a very strong week last week for jobs
in the region on top of strong results in the most recent weeks, the market
cooled slightly significantly on all fronts
– regionally, statewide and nationally. “Analysts are reporting that
employers may be holding off on hiring activity until they see how the whole
government shutdown plays out, and what happens with the Affordable Health Care Act. The market, when faced with
uncertainty, tends to pause – much as the stock market has, and we can likely
expect this to continue until there is some resolution”, stated Dan
Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Postings
in the region were 1825, down from 2170 the
week prior, a close to 16% drop which is
rather significant. “ We hope this is very situational as employers have
forecasted a strong 4th quarter of the year for hiring. A long-term
disruption like this could have very negative consequences. Let’s hope that
employers do not lose confidence”.
Other
markets in NYS posted similar results down results this past week. The
Capital Region continues to still outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all
larger markets with more employers and population.

Nationally
the market took a rather step 19% dive from 619,000 down to 560,000 the past
week. “This is a very concerning number nationally”.

If ever another government shutdown becomes inevitable, it is wise for people to acquire an income insurance for extra protection.
