Online Job Postings Dip Slightly to 3.633 Million

About 3,280,000 online job postings appeared on leading Internet job boards in October, an 83,200 decrease from September’s 3,363,200, the Conference Board reported yesterday.

“The September and October numbers are a further indication that, thus far, the recovery is weak,” said Gad Levanon, senior economist at the board. “Labor demand is a leading indicator of employment, and the numbers indicate that employment is not likely to rise for the rest of this year.”
