Simply Hired has released a trend report on active job listings based on their geography, industry, and demand.
The report reveals that:
* A growing number of job seekers are looking for work in places such as Chicago (job seekers up 15 percent), San Francisco and the Bay Area (job seekers up 15 percent), Boston (job seekers up 17 percent), Milwaukee and Washington D.C.
* Today, the most competitive job listings are for positions related to project management, graphic design, financial analysis, staff accounting and business analysis; the least competitive jobs are for sales associates, sales representatives and dental assistants.
Top active job listings included keywords such as “part-time,” “sales,” “accounting” or “finance.” Available jobs in Washington D.C. were up by 14 percent, with a smaller, yet still positive five percent upswing of available jobs in Boston and San Diego.
Among the active jobs in these areas were health diagnosis and treatment practitioners, sales representatives and engineers. Truck driver, sales representative and business analyst jobs became more available — as denoted by an increase in related listings by 45 percent, 12 percent and eight percent, respectively — to job seekers, while cashier and administrative assistant jobs dwindled, marked by a corresponding five percent and three percent drop in listings.
To compile this report, Simply Hired aggregated job content from more than three million job listings per month from January 1 to March 31, 2009.
