Web Worker Daily
It's been a long time since I recommended a
blog. For the most part, few are consistently useful enough to merit routine
attention. Fighting through the navel gazing that passes for transparency and
into the act of real content creation is too much work for most bloggers. Read More

Deep Release: Online Recruitment Activity Rises in 26 of the Top 28 U.S. Metro Markets in March, According to the Monster Local Employment Index
March 2007 Monster Local Employment Index Highlights:
-- Online demand for workers increases in a majority of the
largest U.S. cities amid the height of spring hiring season
-- Houston continues to demonstrate the highest rate of growth
among the 28 metro markets
-- St. Louis registers sharp gain in online recruitment activity
for second consecutive month
-- Los Angeles extends two-month growth trend due to higher
demand for healthcare and legal occupations
-- Portland edges up on greater online job demand for IT
occupations, while Cincinnati declines despite continued
strength in computer and technology
Online job availability rose in 26 of the top 28 U.S. metro markets in March, reflecting a nationwide increase in online recruitment activity at the height of the spring hiring season, according to the latest findings of the Monster Local Employment Index. The Index is based on a real-time review of millions of employer job opportunities culled from more than 1,500 different Web sites, including Monster(R).
"The March findings of the Monster Local Employment Index illustrate a solid pick-up in online recruiting in major U.S. cities in the final month of the first quarter," said Steve Pogorzelski, Group President, International at Monster Worldwide. "Many of these same metro areas have recently seen their unemployment rates dip lower, suggesting a further tightening in their respective labor markets. However, according to recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a majority of top U.S. cities are also experiencing a deceleration in job creation, providing further evidence that the broader U.S. labor market continues to show a more moderate growth pace compared to last year, while still exhibiting signs of underlying stability," added Pogorzelski.
The St. Louis metro area rose for a second consecutive month in March, registering the largest monthly increase, posting an eight-point surge in online recruitment activity. As a result, St. Louis was the Index's top growth market during the first quarter of 2007, and is second only to Houston in terms of year-over-year growth. Demand for business and financial operations; and office and administrative support positions in particular is higher in St. Louis than a year ago, as favorable business costs and high office vacancy rates continue to draw new businesses to the metro area. The service industry is also creating new job opportunities, with food preparation and serving; education, training and library; and community and social services occupations at the top of the fastest-growing occupations. These findings mirror recent reports from the BLS showing that the top industries for job growth in St. Louis include leisure and hospitality; and government.
