A pair of recent press releases from the Commonwealth's Department of Workforce Development provide some welcome local job news.
First, there is clearly improving hiring demand in several key sectors, including IT, engineering, and healthcare:
Business hiring continued to climb upward in the 4th quarter of 2006, buoyed by an increase in the volume of job postings in several key industries, including biotech, IT, healthcare and finance, according to findings from the state’s latest job vacancy survey of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development’s Department of Workforce Development.Second, the DWD just announced today that over the year jobs were up in all areas of the state:
The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development announced today that over the year job gains occurred in all 12 labor market areas in Massachusetts in July. The Boston-Cambridge-Quincy area recorded the largest over the month job gain, up by 31,600 or 1.9 percent.
