I was teaching our regular 4-hours Job Search session at night. As a part of the class I show students the demand and supply situation on the local job market. Exact same search done on Craigslist (for resumes - supply) and on Dice (positions - demand).
Since October of 2009 the demand grew up 240%. At the same time number of resume declined 35%. So, overall demand/suply ratio more than trippled (about 370%) in 10 month.
Despite that many people we talk to, mostly prospective students, are thinking tha the job market is still bad. They apply high overall unemployment rate of about 10% to all the industries. Indeed, different segments of the job market are experiencing different, sometimes opposite, trends.
