When it comes to looking for jobs in California, look to information technology, according to a survey released Thursday by 4Jobs.com Career Network - a network of over 6,000 employment listings.

California is one of the states with the largest percentage of online employment postings per capita (with 3.77 postings per capita) over the last three quarters, it said.

IT jobs represent nearly 20 percent of the online job posting market, engineering/architecture positions constituting 17 percent, and accounting/finance job postings totaling 10 percent, according to statistics based upon traffic to the 4Jobs.com's Web site during the first quarter of 2005. Statistics are based upon information collected over a six month period, based on a quarterly breakdown.

"While technology continues to thrive, engineering/architecture job postings have shown a sharp jump from the third quarter of 2004 -- increasing from nearly 7 percent of all job postings to 17 percent in the first quarter of 2005," said Richard Milgram, CEO of the 4Jobs.com Career Network, which is based in Philadelphia.

The percentage of job postings per state was calculated and adjusted based on state population to derive a percentage of job postings per capita.
