Published on October 27, 2006 | Email this article

The Conference Board Help-Wanted Advertising Index, which surveys help-wanted print advertising volume in 51 major newspapers across the country every month, was unchanged in September. In the last three months, though, help-wanted advertising in newspapers declined in all nine U.S. regions.

The Conference Board Index currently stands at 30, down from 37 one year ago.

The steepest declines occurred in the West South Central (-17.5 percent), South Atlantic (-14.6 percent), and West North Central (-13.7 percent) regions.

New online job ads dropped slightly in September to 2,459,191. The September level was 115,089 or five percent below the previous month.
