In a recent article the Wall Street Journal cites Monster.com’s Employment Index figures as suggesting employer’s are “emerging from a long hibernation”. The Employment Index rose by ten points in February, as employers resumed hiring activity after January’s seasonal lull.

Monster’s Employment Index, compiled of jobs posted on a number of jobs sites, rose in 15 of 20 of the sector’s measured by the index including: telecommunications, finance and scientific, and technical services. Leading the charge in terms of year-over-year growth were positions in sales with business and financial, transportation and production also reporting more offerings.
