About 5,418,600 online job postings appeared on leading Internet job boards in August, an increase of 34,200 from July, the Conference Board reported Wednesday.
"Labor demand remained little changed in August, maintaining a basic flat trend over the past six months," said Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomics and labor markets at the Conference Board. "The recent flat trend is not particularly troublesome given the continuing high monthly levels of employer demand in the labor market."
In the U.S. there were 1.69 ads per 100 people, down from 1.70 in July.
