Today, Simply Hired released its March job trends report highlighting national and local market outlooks, and industry and employer trends.
After months of steady increases, nationwide hiring returned to pre-recession levels in March. Job openings increased 4.1% from February 2011 and 39.1% from March 2010, resulting in over five million job listings posted throughout the month.
Soon after oil prices reached $100 per barrel, job openings in the transportation industry decreased slightly, by -2.2%. While travel hiring gained a significant 21.3% in March, recent airline fare increases and other attempts to offset rising oil costs indicate that the full impact on hiring in oil-reliant industries remains to be seen.
The financial services sector continued to solidify, gaining 6.1% in hiring within the industry, and 40.8% in hiring for Financial Specialists and Accountants across all industries. This robustness was further supported by the return of major accounting, banking and consulting companies to the top employers list in New York, the nation’s financial capital.
Healthcare employers continued to dominate the Top Hiring Companies by Metro, comprising 45% of the list; HCA Healthcare was the top employer nationwide, with 20,000+ job openings. While the healthcare industry itself decreased hiring slightly (-0.6%), hiring for Doctors, Nurses, Therapists and Health Techs across all industries grew by 4.2%.
