" Labor demand in 2015 continued at the same slow steady pace of 2014, averaging about a 24,000 monthly increase," said Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomics and labor markets at the Conference Board. "While labor demand growth has been somewhat slow over the past two years, the monthly employer demand levels have remained consistently high, providing a strong basis for a healthy labor market."
In the U.S. there were 1.53 ads per 100 people, down from 1.75 in November.
