U.S. Managerial openings continue to increase
For the third month in a row, U.S. managerial openings – C-level, VP, director and manager – increased. The CareerCast.com/JobSerf Employment Index reported July 2009 as the largest monthly gain since January 2008, with an overall gain of 17.8 points. Washington DC realized the greatest gain, followed by Boston, Seattle, Chicago and San Francisco.
“While all regions saw a rise in hiring, cities with the lowest hiring levels are concentrated in the Midwest, Southwest and Florida,” said Jay Martin, chair of JobSerf. “Although the Index is still 22 points lower than it was a year ago, the gap is slowly closing. We are encouraged at both the direction and magnitude of July’s gain. It shows the positive recovery, which started in the late spring, is still continuing.”
The CareerCast.com/JobSerf Employment Index reports the change in managerial job openings posted online nationally. The Index reveals the differences in job listings by month, and offers trends and forecasts using proprietary employment data gathered by a team of researchers.
