Hiring Demand at Fortune 1000 companies has grown 4% since last month, according to this month's WANTED Fortune 1000 report, which details online job posting activity for America's largest corporations. 285 companies showed an improvement in Hiring Demand compared to last year, which is 39 more companies than last month.
Compared to a year ago, Hiring Demand is still down 21.6%. However, Hiring Demand was down 25.6% on a year-over-year basis in July. Looking at month-to-month differences in the yearly reports removes any seasonal fluctuations. In other words, Hiring Demand is up 4% on a seasonally adjusted basis since last month.
Focusing in on the largest national paid-for job boards, collective Hiring Demand by the Fortune 1000 has grown 4.4% since last month on Monster, CareerBuilder, Yahoo! HotJobs, and Dice.
