There are positive signs in the job market reflected in March’s Monster Employment Index (MEI). We saw a 6% year-over-year (YoY) increase in online recruiting demand in March, the second positive YoY increase in a row. This is a 1% jump from February, which marked the first positive year-over-year increase in 24 months.
The upward trend was broad based across sectors, with growth in industries across the board. There were, however, a few worth mentioning. The real estate, rental, and leasing sector registered one of the steepest growths YoY, but this move upward signifies mostly an improvement from such a deep bottom, with the likely driver being non-real estate rental and leasing activity. Many equipment rental and leasing companies are seeing growth as both corporations and people are renting and leasing equipment, for example, moving trucks to help relocate.
