About 3,295,500 online job postings appeared on leading Internet job boards in July, a 700 increase from June’s 3,294,800, the Conference Board reported yesterday.
“Online job demand has held relatively steady at around 3.3 million advertised vacancies per month for the last six months,” said Gad Levanon, board senior economist. “While we are not seeing declines, the sluggish nature of labor demand is another indication that the path to recovery is likely to remain a long haul.”
