According to a recent report from The Conference Board, jobs online fell during the month of June. Despite this, jobs in Florida continued to show some improvement.
The report shows that nationally online advertised job vacancies declined by 66,700 listings. This brought the number of positions posted online to 3,294,800. During the last five months the jobs announced on the Internet have declined by 71,000 positions. Although this is still high, it is low in comparison to the 1,200,000 job ads lost between August of 2008 and January of 2009.
“We are not out of the woods yet, but job demand has definitely stabilized since January,” said The Conference Board’s Senior Economist Gad Levanon in a recent press release. “Although there is some bounce in the monthly numbers, the number of online advertised vacancies has held steady in the last three months (up a modest 35,000). Across the U.S., it is an increasingly mixed picture with some states, like Florida and Georgia, showing some modest gains, others such as New York, North Carolina holding steady, and some, like California and Pennsylvania, yet to show real improvement.”
Jobs announced online fell in all four regions, according to The Conference Board. The South saw the smallest loss, with employers only advertising 3,400 fewer positions. The loss experienced in Northeast was the worst. Employers in this region cut Internet ads by 18,100.
“The June data shows an almost even split between the number of states with increases (24) and the number with declines (26),” said Levanon in the release. “But there are clear signs that the employers are advertising again for workers and in some states the trend over the last few months has improved.”
Despite losing as a region, several states in the South reported gains. Florida had the highest increase, with employers adding 9,200 Internet jobs ads. Georgia followed with a gain of 2,900 new listings.
The largest losses in the Northeast occurred in New York, where employers dropped the number of jobs announced online by 5,300 positions. Pennsylvania came in second, losing 2,700 listings. Both New Jersey and Maine reported some growth. The first added 1,700 new job ads and the latter saw an increase of 100 new positions announced online.
According to The Conference Board, June saw an increase in advertisements for the Arts, design, entertainment and sports. Although the construction industry continues to be well below what it was a year ago, this industry was flat in June. During the same time period computer and mathematical positions experienced a drop.
