Fortune 1000 Hiring was very robust in November, according to data from WANTED Analytics. Hiring Demand by the Fortune 1000 companies grew by 2.9% on a seasonally adjusted basis from last month. This is exactly on trend with the 2.9% growth we've seen in this economic sector since the start of the stock market rally in early March of this year.
On a seasonally unadjusted basis and considering the entire month of November, Hiring Demand fell by only 2% compared to October – seasonal movements usually drive down Hiring Demand by 15% from October to November.
We're expecting new job ads, unadjusted, to fall dramatically next week leading up to the Christmas holidays.
