Recruiting Trends Piece Well Received
The staff would like to thank readers for all of the positive feedback on the 2001 trends. The response was overwhelming. If you did not get a chance to download all 24 Trends yesterday, take a look at one trend today on the Electronic Recruiting News.
Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment
In October, 200 metropolitan areas recorded unemployment rates below the U.S. average (3.6 percent, not seasonally adjusted), while 124 areas registered higher rates, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Thirty-five metropolitan areas had jobless rates below 2.0 percent, with 19 of these located in the Midwest, 8 in New England, and 7 in the South. Among the six areas with rates above 10.0 percent, four were in the West and two were in the South.
JobOptions/BTM Job-Listing Index
The index declined by 8.7 percent over the latest week ending November 27, attributed to the Thanksgiving Day holiday and reduced seasonal demand for workers as the yearend approaches. But the year-over-year momentum in the index remained healthy. (Go to Latest Weekly Release.)
Getting There
The Washington Post reports on the problem of suburban job openings, an urban workforce without cars, and the coordination of services to overcome the problem.
