The forecast for November of a loss of 155,000 jobs is an improvement over the October loss of 190,000 jobs. Since October, there have been fewer Unemployment Insurance claims. However, WANTED's Hiring Demand indicators do not show enough of an increase in new job ads to forecast a more positive month-over-month employment report.

WANTED's forecasting model incorporates overall Hiring Demand based in part on a weekly measurement of the number of job ads placed with online job boards. The weekly Hiring Demand data that WANTED collects from online job boards tracks employment levels at the industry and occupational level.
