Signal49 Research’s Help-Wanted Index is an indicator of the number of new jobs advertised online. Our empirical analysis has shown that variations in the number of jobs posted online are generally followed by similar variations in employment in the ensuing months. Thus, the index can be used to predict near-term employment trends.

The Help-Wanted Index rose 8 points in July to 127.3—an all-time high! The June and July gains more than offset the losses registered in the two previous months, and the index now stands more than 27 points above its December 2010 level.
