The Conference Board Launches New Help-Wanted Onli
New York, NY, July 20--The Conference Board Help-Wanted OnLine Data Series – which made its debut today – shows that there were just over 2 million first-time, online job postings appearing on major Internet job boards in June. This figure is essentially unchanged from May and up from 1.8 million new job ads posted online in April.
That means there were 1.39 new online jobs advertised for every 100 people in the labor force (which includes people now working and those seeking jobs). This measure scales the number of help-wanted online ads to adjust for the size of the labor force.
The Conference Board’s new online data series provides a monthly count of unduplicated help-wanted job ads posted for the first time on over 1,200 major Internet job boards, including the largest boards as well as some smaller boards that serve niche markets and smaller geographic areas.
