American Job History: Post- Recession Employment Listings Double and Triple
American Job Market Trends
America enjoyed a measure of economic recovery from 2010 - 2012. As part of that, actual job listings increased from 4 million to 5 million across the nation by autumn 2012, and jumped to 7.6 million in May-June 2013.
In 2010, I found job listings from all Internet sources of listings included nearly 6 Million openings on a daily basis. The largest cities in America enjoyed the largest numbers of job listings; there were the usual New York City, Houston and similar. Still, many sources quoted the number of jobs needed by Americans as 14 Million in 2010.
While some individuals lost their families and possessions and ended as homeless, others joined the US military branches and a few began their own businesses. Still others went off grid into underground occupations that are performed without tax documentation. These have included hair and nail services (which require a license in most states when documented), auto mechanics and body work, housecleaning, and several others.
During 2012, the average number of jobs listed through all Internet sources dropped to a range of 4.5 - 4.8 Million job listings. These are jobs posted anywhere online and do not include the non-advertised or hidden job markets. At the same time, a greater number of Summer Jobs were listed for 2012 than in any year previously, back to 2007 and most of these were part-time or full-time temporary positions.
Certain US States are less affected by economic downturn, including Texas; and the oil and gas fields of North Dakota where jobs doubled in 2012. Oil and gas are booming in North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile aerospace industry companies, 63 of them already partnered with NASA, are hiring skilled workers in gradually increasing numbers.
Finding the job openings quickly can be managed through major job search engines on the Internet. The two largest job search organizations are SimplyHired.com and Indeed.com, with search engines in the United States, Canada, UK, India, Australia, and other International countries, all provided via links on their home pages. Use both of these organizations' sites, because they update at different times of the day and night, but both update continually.
These search engines can be accessed by job title or location in the USA, and refined in the left sidebar by company name, education level, salary range, special interest group (Veterans, 50+, New Graduates, Diversity, Single Parent, and others).
Another set of search engines that may be useful to you are available at: Job Search Engine Reviews and Job Sites Often Overlooked.
