State of the Job
Market Columns |

Special Note: There is no data for the
month of October, due to lack of sufficient market data. This report covers
the month of November, 2003, and reflects change in data from the last
reporting period of September, 2003.
The strong resurgence across most job
markets continues. We now believe that the turnaround we witnessed in
mid-to-late summer reflects the moment when the job market in North America
finally turned around.
Our confidence in the growing strength of
the job market comes from the strong showing of previously weak sectors.
Markets that were weakest during the recession (IT, Tech, Telecom, Business
Consulting) are actually beginning to lead the way as hiring begins again.
Additionally, we are encouraged by the way
hiring is returning to broad economic markets, such as Advertising, Sales and
even Entertainment/Hospitality. Especially notable is the resurgence in the
Customer Service/Retail sector. The holiday season of course brings a cyclical
upswing in hiring, but even seasonality cannot wholly explain the strength of
hiring we are seeing.
The above reporting is taken from
polled evidence and personal impressions, collected from the career
professionals at ResumeWriters.com.
ResumeWriters.com does not collect or share personal data
from it's clients. Information reported is of a macro, and not personal
