A Note From The Editor

Recruiters’ Confidence Increases In August

ExecuNet’s Recruiter Confidence Index, which dropped last month, rebounded in August.  The recent survey of 147 executive recruiters conducted by ExecuNet, a leader in executive-level job and networking opportunities, reveals that recruiters are expecting continued growth for the executive employment market in the months ahead.

According to the survey, 57% of recruiters are confident or very confident the executive employment market will improve during the next six months -- up from 54% in July.  During this period of time, the executive search industry is expecting a 17% increase in the number of assignments it receives from clients - a pace that is unchanged from last month.

Weekly Article
Help-Wanted Index Declines One Point
By Conference Board

The Conference Board’s Help-Wanted Advertising Index – a key barometer of America's job market – dipped one point in July. The Index now stands at 37, down from 38 the previous month. The Index was 38 one year ago.

In the last three months, help-wanted advertising declined in six of the nine U.S. regions. Declines occurred in the West North Central (-7.2%), South Atlantic (-6.1%), East North Central (-4.9%), East South Central (-4.1%), Middle Atlantic (-2.1%) and Pacific (-2.0%) regions. Increases occurred in the Mountain (6.1%), West South Central (1.9%) and New England (0.1%) regions.

Says Conference Board Economist Ken Goldstein: “The latest data show essentially no change through July. Want-ad volume has not changed much over the past six months. Initial unemployment claims reached a plateau in March and have stayed fairly close to that level ever since. Overall economic momentum is no longer firing on all cylinders. And hiring intentions this summer are suggestive that companies may not increase hiring until the economy regains more solid footing.”

The Conference Board surveys help-wanted advertising volume in 51 major newspapers across the country every month. Because ad volume has proven to be sensitive to labor market conditions, this measure provides a gauge of change in the local, regional and national supply of jobs.

The next release will be Thursday, September 30, at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Final Note - On The Lighter Side

Want a day off work?

So you want a day off? Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be darned if you are going to take that day off!
