Job
Market Holds Consistent – and Grows in some areas …
Albany,
NY, November 20, 2013) – The job market in the Capital Region has
been stable for three past three weeks at higher numbers than we have seen for
most of the year, indicating that employers are beginning to shake off the
concerns exhibited back in October. “ This is certainly good news for all
including those in the job market looking for a new opportunity and those
thinking about launching a job search. When the market shows consistency week
after week, that is positive”, stated Dan Moran, of Next-Act (www.next-act.com),
a career transition management firm located in Colonie. “What is great to see
as well – the national job market seems to be shaking off the doldrums and has
increased sharply this past week. No doubt the stock market is helping in this
situation to fuel confidence”.
In
the Capital Region, postings were 1904 just off the 1911 the week before. Other
markets in NYS were up slightly and flat but consistent as well. The Capital
Region continues to still outpace Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger
markets with more employers and population.
