Booming Internet job market

According to data from the Jobpilot index, job advertisements on the Internet reached a record level in July 2006. The index rose 16 points to 126 points compared to April. This is the highest level to date and clearly surpasses even the boom phase five years ago. Not only have job advertisements on Internet job exchanges increased (+ 11 points), but the number of jobs on companies' own websites has also risen massively (+ 26 points).
Online lead over print The print index calculated by the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland and comparable with the Jobpilot index fell by 3 points to 38 points in the current quarter. The reason given for the slight decline is that job vacancies in the print media tend to fall more sharply in the summer quarter than on the Internet.
