The number of jobs being advertised online in Louisiana is down 13% from last year, according to a report from the Conference Board Help-Wanted Online Data Series. There were 40,400 advertised vacancies in the state during June, compared with 46,600 in June 2008. Nationwide, the number of vacancies advertised online fell by 29%, to nearly 3.3 million. The Conference Board says the number of job ads was flat in Louisiana during the first six months of the year. That mirrors the larger national trend of flat demand since January, although some states such as Florida and Georgia are showing modest increases, and others such as California and Pennsylvania are still spiraling downward.
