Jobs Posted on Internet Up 1,900 in August: Report

About 4,816,100 online job postings appeared on leading internet job boards in August, an increase of 1,900 from July, the Conference Board reported Wednesday.

"A flat August shows no sign of renewed strength in online advertised vacancies," said Gad Levanon, chief economist, North America at the Conference Board. "The large losses in the first half of 2016 still dominate the downward trend for advertised vacancies in 2016."

In the U.S. there were 1.34 ads per 100 people, down from 1.39 in July.
