According to research conducted by The Conference Board, online job postings rose in the month of November.
The Conference Board, a not-for-profit independent business and research association, reported online vacancies rose by 106,500 to 3.386 million. That translates to 2.2 advertised vacancies for every 100 people in the labor force, a slight increase over October (2.1 advertised vacancies per 100).
Gad Levanon, senior economist at The Conference Board, said in a news release the gains “can only be described as sluggish.”
Online labor demand has been modestly positive since the low point in April 2009, with average monthly increases of about 32,000, according to the report.
