Job Listings on EmploymentCrossing Touch the 2.3 Million Mark: Data Reflects Confidence in American Jobs Market
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2013
EmploymentCrossing today announced that its job listings had gone up to 2.3 million, an industry high. The jobs data from EmploymentCrossing echoes the findings of two other sources indicating American optimism about the job market.
CEO Harrison Barnes says that in the last three weeks alone, the site has added around 340,000 jobs. On April 7, we reported 1.96 million job openings. Today, on April 29, our site has achieved a huge listing of 2.3 million jobs from across the country.
This data from EmploymentCrossing.com backs the 2012 General Social Survey, which shows that confidence in the American jobs market is back to almost the normal level compared to its recession era record low. Layoff fears also dropped off last year from its 2010 peak to its average for the 35 years during which this question has been asked.
Data from BLS also shows that Americans have a good reason to feel a little safer when it comes to layoffs. The mass layoff incidents decreased by 85 compared to the February total, and the number of initial claims also decreased by 7,529. Around 127,000 workers filed for unemployment insurance benefits in March.
When it comes to job openings, healthcare continues to retain the number one spot for the 12th week in a row. There were 397,000 healthcare job openings on the site followed by Information Technology with almost 300,000 job openings.
The other top five industries in terms of job creation are:
Customer Service 267,000 job openings
Sales 231,000 job openings
Retail 215,000 job openings
Engineering 174,000 job openings

National Emergency Grants are discretionary grants awarded by the Secretary of Labor that provide supplemental funding for workforce development, employment services and other assistance for workers affected by major economic issues, such as plant closures, and major disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes or floods, during which their jobs were displaced.
Mobile Works has targeted the grant monies for infrastructure cleanup of the City of Mobile and Mobile County for the damage from Hurricane Ivanwith 105 local workers being hired for these tasks. 35 positions will be supervised by the City of Mobile and 35 positions will be overseen by Mobile County. There will be an additional 35 positions available for other municipalities within Mobile County based on need due to hurricane damage. All positions will work up to 350 regular hours.
Eligible adult workers for the 105 temporary positions are those who were displaced either temporarily or permanently by Hurricane Ivan, other long-term displaced workers and either short-term or long-term unemployed workers as well. Mobile Works will provide the payroll and workers compensation for all of these temporary employees, as well as required safety equipment. The temporary positions will be used for general debris removal, post-storm cleanup and other basic tasks.
“This Disaster Relief grant represents one of the many investments by Mobile Works to provide jobs, training and economic initiatives for Mobile,” said Sydney Raine, President of Mobile Works. “This award will aid significantly in the Mobile areas recovery from Ivan and, just as importantly, will help up to 105 people whose jobs were displaced by Ivan to bring in much-needed income until they can find another permanent position or other workers in need of such jobs.”
Mobile Works Inc., a local partnership of business, education, labor and community leaders, provides businesses with training, leadership, labor market information and employment programs designed to stimulate local business by meeting the needs of Mobile area businesses while increasing the available labor pool of skilled jobseekers in the Mobile area. Since its inception in 2000, the group has invested more than $ 19 million overall to support Mobile area job and educational programs.

New Report Shows Continued Jobs Shortage – News Video on Youtube Highlights Network Marketing Provides Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs in Booming Anti-Aging Sector
Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 28, 2012
MLM Network Marketing provides opportunities for women entrepreneurs in booming anti-aging sector, skincare products popular with aging boomers.
The U.S. Department of Labor releases its closely watched monthly jobs report, which may show modest improvement in the jobs picture but likely also will highlight a continued jobs shortage with millions of long-term unemployed Americans still struggling to find work in a bad economy. Todays Bureau of Labor Statistics report follows last months report showing the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.3 percent.
Although economists predict some improvement in the jobs picture, they do not expect to see significant movement in a job market in which the unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for 42 consecutive months and the average length of joblessness for those remaining in the labor force is nearly 39 weeks. These data exclude the millions of Americans who have stopped looking altogether and dropped out of the workforce. Six million job seekers have exhausted their unemployment benefits since the start of the economic downturn in 2007, according to a National Employment Law Project report.
With nearly 13 million Americans unemployed, and 21 million either under- or unemployed, sustained strong job growth is needed just to make a dent in the problem, according to recent statements from the Federal Reserve. Small businesses, many started by women, remain the nations primary creator of new jobs.
Over the past year, statistics show high numbers of women leaving the workforce due to the Great Recession and for personal considerations. Many women leave the labor force temporarily or permanently to care for children and other family members, making work-from-home careers an attractive option that provides the flexibility necessary to balance work and family responsibilities.
And the historic period of high unemployment is fueling consideration of alternative careers, with many women entrepreneurs exploring work-from-home opportunities including new ventures in multi-level marketing focused on the booming anti-aging sector.
Reports show that despite the challenging economic outlook women entrepreneurs are capitalizing on new work-from-home opportunities in MLM marketing, an alternative to traditional office jobs, starting their own successful businesses from home and making money on their own terms.
According to reports, as the nations population ages demand is expected to rise for such anti-aging therapies as skincare products and vitamin supplements, a network marketing segment poised for expansion as the nations aging baby boomers start to retire.
Direct selling is the sale of a consumer product or service, person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location, marketed through independent sales representatives who are sometimes also referred to as consultants, distributors or other titles.
Just about any product or service can be purchased through direct selling somewhere in the world. Many people think of cosmetics, wellness products and home d

Service Sector Hiring on Hound.com Reflects ADP Jobs Data
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) April 05, 2013
U.S. private sector employment grew by 158,000 jobs in March, according to the ADP report released Wednesday. The professional business sector fared particularly well, adding 39,000 jobs last month. These job trends were reflected in service sector hiring on Hound.com.
Total nonfarm private employment grew last month, according to ADP jobs data released this week. The U.S. economy added 158,000 in March, with the greatest job gains occurring in the professional-business sector. The professional-business industry alone added 39,000 jobs last month. This sector includes service providing industries like accounting, IT, and consulting. In contrast, the goods-producing sector experienced its slowest rate of growth in the last six months. The ADP report was based on payroll data for nonfarm private employment and the numbers were considered a forerunner for the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, scheduled for release on Friday. Taken as a whole, the report painted a picture of a job market that is growing steadily.
The ADP data corresponded with independently collected data from Hound.com, a leading website for job seeking professionals. Hound has seen a steady increase in demand for service-producing jobs over the past few months. Since the beginning of the year, accounting and bookkeeping jobs have predictably risen, as many firms have increased their staff in order to prepare for the current tax season. Hound currently lists over 32,250 accounting jobs on its website. Other service-producing sectors like customer service have also grown, with nearly 93,000 customer service openings listed on the site at the time of this release. As the economy has continued to improve, demand has returned for financial-related employment, with 49,181 financial service jobs currently available on Hound. These jobs run the gamut from entry level positions to management.
During the economic downturn, the financial sector was obviously hit very hard from an employment standpoint, said Harrison Barnes, CEO of Hound.com. As the economy is starting to pick up again, were seeing a renewed demand for financial services, which has spurred hiring. Were seeing this trend across the board in many service-producing industries.
