US - Online Job Ads Fall by 45,000

May 30, 2012

The number of jobs advertised online in the U.S. fell by 45,000 in May to approximately 4.71 million, according to a report released today by The Conference Board.

“After rising 564,000 over the last five months, labor demand dipped in May. Despite this drop, strong employer demand has created growing opportunities for both job-changers and the unemployed and has also helped significantly lower the unemployment rate,” said June Shelp, vice president at The Conference Board.

The Conference Board’s help wanted online report collects job ad information from more than 1,000 job boards.
