These numbers reported to the ACS Council this morning (data thanks to friend of the blog Chris Cramer):
The job seeker to job ratio is 16.2 to 1, which is the worst for quite a while. Note that, in comparing to previous years, it may be difficult. Still, a tough year for employers. (I sense this may be geography-related more than anything else, but I don't know who the employers were at this Career Fair.)
Number of Job Seekers: 422*
Employers: 15
Number of Jobs: 26
Recruiter Booths: 15
Résumé Reviews: 316*There was a change to the way that job seekers were counted, so job seeker/jobs ratios can't be compared anymore.
Mock Interviews: 139
