Online job postings increasing 5%-6% (Monster)

By Monster's reckoning, online job postings in August rose 6%, the most since 2005, with the Monster Employment Index hitting 121. Sommer says that Monster's North American business, which accounts for 48% of revenue, is closely related to that index, meaning that it probably went up by a like amount. Last year, Monster's North American revenue fell about 10%.

The Conference Board reported employer job demand up a seasonally adjusted 5%, or 169,000 jobs last month, compared with July's level. "The August increase was some very good news," says June Shelp, a Conference Board economist.

Since April, online job demand has risen by 300,000, with many larger states showing stable trends, the Conference Board reports. "Advertised vacancies tend to be a lead to what's happening in employment," notes Shelp.
