Job Postings Drop After Holiday – Expected

(Albany, NY,  September 12, 2012) – After a good increase just before the Labor Day holiday, job postings pulled back and decreased the last seven days, not unexpected and consistent with history. “ The week after a holiday is when we see postings drop as well as general hiring activity, as they did both regionally and nationally. Postings came in at about 1450, 400 less than 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 were down as well from the week before. The Capital Region still outpaces Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more employers and population.  

NEW – How many job postings are there in the United States today? We will be watching this nationally going forward.

As of 9/12/12, there were,  on a seven-day-average,   512,163 job postings in the national market, down from 561,964 the week prior, again likely the result of the holiday. The top five areas for the most jobs per capita remain unchanged: San Jose, CA, Washington DC, Boston, MA, Raleigh, NC and Oklahoma City, OK. There is one job posting per unemployed person in each of these markets meaning the market is much less competitive.  

Other markets in NYS were generally down slightly from the week before. The Capital Region still outpaces Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, all larger markets with more employers and population.
