7.08.2005Mountain Region Registers Sharpest June Increase in Online Job Availability"The Mountain region saw the greatest month-to-month percentage increase in online job availability during June, followed by the New England, West South Central and South Atlantic regions. Online job demand for workers increased in just four of the nine U.S. Census Bureau regions in June, although all regions remained at very high levels when compared year over year. Only twenty-two U.S. states registered increases in June, with Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Hawaii among those seeing the sharpest gains. Seventeen states saw declines during June, such as New York, Illinois, and the District; while 12 states remained essentially unchanged from May, including California, Florida and Virginia." - from monster.com press release Excellent news for those of us here in what was once the Ground Zero of layoffs. I knew it was going to take a while for tech to recover here, but once it does, perhaps it will be more solid and stable this time. I have to admit I guessed wrong about when the recovery would happen, but then again, 'most everyone else did too. The corporate scandals such as Enron and MCI/WorldCom had a far worse impact than 9/11 did, economically. But I think most of that is behind us now and we can move forward. And with the coming demographic crunch, plus the lack of interest in IT among college grads... well, the consensus amongst us Fairies is that salaries are about to get *real* good. Give it another 5 - 10 years, and we should be farting through silk. Really!
