As a footnote to Friday’s labor report, Simply Hired, a technology company that operates a job search engine, echoed the job growth with their own set of statistics. Last month openings on their site were up 6.2 percent month over month and 40.9 percent year-over-year.

To drill down even more for media folks, their representative informed us there are 25,036 job openings in media. This is up by six percent from March and almost 30 percent year-over-year.

As for the cities with the most available jobs, that would be New York City (2,745 jobs), Los Angeles (1,479 jobs), and Chicago (1,150). The numbers represent the media industry as a whole and unfortunately, don’t specify the medium within media itself. continued…

This just in — the job market is showing an uptick, albeit slow, to reveal economic growth is on the rise.

According to the Labor Department, employers added 157,000 last month and the unemployment rate is now 7.9 percent. Although economists had forecasted the rate would have remained steady at 7.8, it doesn’t seem the increase is too much to become worried about. continued…

New Jobs Report Shows Dip in Unemployment Rate

Happy Friday one and all! At the end of a laborious week (kind of ironic since after all, it was Labor Day on Monday), the new numbers have been released.

According to the latest job report, American employers added 96,000 jobs last month which could be viewed as a weak stat. That said, unemployment dipped to 8.1 percent; in July the percentage was 8.3. However, it could be interpreted the number dropped because more people stalled their job searches.

John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo, told The New York Post, ”This weak jobs report is going to feed into (the Fed’s) argument that the economy is growing at a sub-par pace.”

Upbeat Monthly Jobs Report Expected Tomorrow

Experts are saying tomorrow’s employment report reflecting the month of August will be better than anticipated.

Josh Shapiro, chief U.S. economist for MFR, Inc., told MarketWatch, “The evidence is that the labor market is chugging ahead here. It is not great, but it is not falling apart either.”

As for guesses, the unemployment rate is anticipated to remain steady at 8.3 percent. This number reflects the percentage when we entered 2012. That said, weekly jobless claims apparently dropped by 12,000 so there appears to be an uptick in people re-entering the job market.

According to analysts, if the market has a job number of gains higher than 100,000, that would be a pretty good report.
