Area employers advertised for 2,400 positions in June and approximately 79 percent sought full-time employment, according to Help Wanted Online data compiled by the Conference Board, which is a global, independent business membership and research association.  Employers need more workers than the help wanted advertising indicated because some industries, such as Construction, typically do not post advertised job openings.

“The increase in the unemployment rate in seven of the metros was largely due to an increase in the overall labor force brought on by renewed confidence in the local economy,” said IDES Director Jeff Mays. “Many people that were unemployed are now out looking for work as more jobs are available.”
