$$ "Davidson" on Help Wanted

“Davidson” submits:

Help Wanted Online as tracked by The Conference Board has remained strong at elevated levels. This can only be good news eventually for equity investors. I pulled two excerpts of interest below. There is simply not much commentary to add when the news remains this positive.

Excerpts:

“After the large 223,000 April increase in online advertised vacancies that kicked off the spring hiring season, employers essentially held steady in May,” said June Shelp, Vice President at The Conference Board. “As the economy comes out of the recession, online demand has risen in a wide variety of occupations. Occupations commonly associated with office work (administrative, legal and computer jobs) as well as manufacturing and construction vacancies are improving but remain below their pre-recession levels, while online demand for workers in sales, education and training, entertainment, food preparation and service, healthcare support and personal care are all at or above their pre-recession 2007 levels.”
