Continuing last Monday’s post about the October’s jobs report (in which new job postings on LinkUp rose by 4% from September), there is also positive news on an industry by industry basis. In October, 23 of 36 industries showed an increase from September in new job listings on LinkUp, while 21 showed an increase in [...]
Last Friday, the Department of Labor issued its monthly jobs report for October and reported that the U.S. economy lost another 190,000 jobs in October (a number that will certainly be revised up or down in future months). October’s losses represent the 22nd straight month of monthly job losses, and unemployment rose from 9.8% to [...]
Continuing last Friday’s post about LinkUp’s dour jobs report for September (in which 47 states reported a decrease from August in the total number of job listings), there is equally as discouraging news on an industry by industry basis. In September, 29 of 36 industries showed a decrease from August in both new and total [...]

Despite the continuing rise in U.S. unemployment and the mixed signals from the August jobs report (good news relative to previous months but still horrendous compared to historic norms), there are a lot of companies with jobs listed on their company websites (still the 2nd best place to find a job behind a personal contact). [...]
Continuing yesterday’s post about LinkUp’s encouraging jobs data for August (in which 49 states reported an increase from July in the total number of job listings), there is equally encouraging news on an industry by industry basis. In August, 35 of 37 industries showed an increase from July in the total number of job listings [...]
The Department of Labor released its jobs report for August last Friday, and despite the fact that 216,000 more jobs were lost and unemployment rose to 9.7% (a 26-year high), the monthly job losses were the smallest of any month this year.
