Pasadena, CA — EmploymentCrossing (www.employmentcrossing.com) now lists more than 65,000 jobs in New York. According to the state labor department’s latest report, New York’s private sector employment increased over the month by 4,200, the first-ever increase in the last five months. However, the overall unemployment rate in the state also increased from 5.2% in May to 5.3% in June, its highest level since December 2004.
''The New York State economy is showing a split personality. Although the total job count increased in the state, the total unemployment rate also increased due to layoffs in the financial sector,'' says Harrison Barnes, CEO and founder of EmploymentCrossing.
EmploymentCrossing currently has 65,000-plus jobs in New York in its database. The website aims to support anxious job seekers struggling in a shrinking job market and to provide them with every possible resource to find jobs in their respective industries.
''EmploymentCrossing has doubled its efforts to update job seekers with every job opening in New York as soon as it becomes available,'' adds Barnes. ''In fact, we are different than other job boards in the sense that we do not charge employers to post jobs, which gives job seekers more options. We have a dedicated team of hundreds of researchers who look through every possible resource to find each and every job, even the hidden ones.''
New York’s labor department also reports that the total number of jobs in New York State has increased by 30,100 since June 2007. The industries with the largest job gains were education and health services, government, leisure and hospitality, and professional and business services, among others. Meanwhile, the industries that reported the most job cuts were manufacturing, finance, construction, and trade, transportation, and utilities.
