Jobs in IT, engineering/architecture and accounting/finance represent nearly 50 percent of all employment postings, according to a study by the 4Jobs.com Career Network, an online network of more than 6,000 niche and local job boards.
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 Q1 of 2005. Statistics are based upon information collected over a six-month period, based on a quarterly breakdown.
More results from the 4Jobs.com Career Trends Q1 2005 Study include:
- IT is the dominant sector for both online employment postings and resume postings.
- As a percentage of healthcare and medical job postings continue to decline, the percentage of resume postings in those areas showed increased growth.
- Merchandising, purchasing and retail declined sharply in the first quarter of 2005.
- Washington D.C., Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and California have the largest percentage of online employment postings per capita over the last three quarters.
- Nevada ranked tops for healthcare and medical jobs, while Idaho ranked #1 in construction, social services, insurance and repair.
- Internet job searching peaked on Mondays between 1 - 2 p.m. ET, with Sunday peak activity occurred at 8 p.m. ET.
"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.
