Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona see increase in internship postings from October to November while North Carolina, Washington state and New Mexico see increase in entry level job postings during that same period.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, November 6, 2009 - There's been an increase in the number of internships and entry level jobs now actively being recruited for in most states, according to a recent study of employers conducted by CollegeRecuiter.com, the nation's leading job board for college students and new graduates. Some states, particularly those with smaller populations, haven't been faring as well.
Although states like Wyoming (56% fewer internship postings and 24% fewer entry level jobs) and Alaska (24% fewer internship postings and 30% fewer entry level jobs), have seen significant decreases in the number of internships and entry level jobs posted on CollegeRecruiter.com at the beginning of November, most others, like Maine (110% more internship postings and 12% more entry level jobs) and Hawaii (20% more internship postings and 20% more entry level jobs), have significantly higher numbers than this time in October.
"We were quite happy but not surprised to see the significantly higher number of job openings advertised on CollegeRecruiter.com," said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder. "Many of our employer clients have been telling us that they are or soon will be hiring again and not just one person here and there but dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of people. Our clients and job seeker users have endured a terrible recession but we're now all emerging from it together. We're all a bit battered and bruised, but we're also stronger and wiser. The labor market will likely take months and perhaps years to return to being robust, but we're on the way up rather than down and that's encouraging for all."

PORTLAND, MAINE (October 26, 2009) - Jobg8, creator of an online network allowing job boards to share postings in an open market system and charge employer clients only for qualified candidates based on pre-screened criteria, has begun the roll-out of its new Pay-for-Performance (P4P) product. One of the first network members to integrate this new private label application is CollegeRecruiter.com of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Matt Hoffner, president of the Jobg8 North America, stated that, "CollegeRecruiter.com is a very well respected board having won the Weddle's User's Choice Awards for best job boards the last three years. CollegeRecruiter.com has a great position in a very targeted market and a loyal user group. They have also been a great member of our network for the last six months by including in their search results many of the performance-based job postings that we've sold to employers through some of our other partners. We are excited that CollegeRecruiter.com has chosen to expand its relationship with Jobg8 by also selling the Pay-for-Performance job posting product. We believe that their employer clients will love the new P4P product, especially given the traffic and user base that CollegeRecruiter.com has developed over the years."

California, Texas and Florida see decrease in internship postings from September to August; Iowa, Arkansas and North Dakota among states experiencing greatest increases.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, October 5, 2009 - There's been a dramatic decrease in the number of internships and entry level jobs now actively being recruited for in several states, according to a recent study of employers conducted by CollegeRecuiter.com, the nation's leading job board for college students and new graduates. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate - 9.8% as of September - continues to rise.
The study shows that businesses in California, Texas, Florida and Washington, D.C., have experienced a decrease in active internship opportunities posted on CollegeRecruiter.com from September to October. Similarly, businesses in Montana, Mississippi and Vermont significantly decreased the number of internships posted on CollegeRecruiter.com by 27%, 32% and 38%, respectively. South Dakota saw a decrease of 27% in the number of entry-level jobs posted to the site over the same period.
In an effort to aid job seekers struggling to find employment, CollegeRecruiter.com earlier this year initiated a monthly survey of thousands of employers to identify the states with the most, and the fewest, internships and entry level jobs posted by employers. The data, which is updated at the beginning of each month, is gathered through a review of recruitment trends from each state and the District of Columbia, that have posted opportunities with CollegeRecruiter.com. The monthly review is intended to serve as a guide to help job seekers estimate the status of the job market in the states in which they live.
Of the five states with most opportunities, only New York has seen a 1% increase in the number of internships posted for October. The five states with the lowest number of entry level job and internship postings has similar results. North Dakota alone has seen a 25% increase in the number of internships posted and only Wyoming has seen a 28% increase in the number of entry level jobs posted to CollegeRecruiter.com for October. Most states have experience a reduction in the number of entry level jobs and internships posted by employers, but some states like Iowa (135%), Arkansas (64%) and Minnesota (44%), which have dramatically increased internship listings, are faring much better.
Here are some of the states that have the most and fewest internships and entry level jobs available for October:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 3, 2009 - In response to recent reports that job seekers are struggling to find jobs, CollegeRecruiter.com compiled lists of the five best and worst states for finding internships and entry level jobs. The data was gathered through a state-by-state search on the site; the lists will be updated every month to help students and entry level job candidates know how many opportunities are available to them in each state and the District of Columbia.

Only Washington, D.C., Nebraska, Missouri, Rhode Island and Virginia had increased numbers of internship listings. Washington, D.C. had a 21 percent increase, Nebraska had a 10 percent increase and Missouri, Rhode Island and Virginia each had a 3 percent increase in the number of internships posted on CollegeRecruiter.com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 6, 2009 - In response to recent reports that job seekers are struggling to find jobs, CollegeRecruiter.com compiled lists of the five best and worst states for finding internships and entry level jobs. The data was gathered through a state-by-state search on the site; the lists will be updated every month to help students and entry level job candidates know how many opportunities are available to them and in which states.
While there were many states that showed a sharp reduction in the number of internship listings they provided, there was only a small decline in the number of entry level jobs posted for July. Interestingly, less populated states like Montana and North Dakota showed dramatic increases (as much as 65%) in the number of internships they posted for July but showed a decrease in the number of entry-level job posts. Conversely, more largely populated states like California and Florida showed a greater decrease (as much as 19%) in the number of internships posted than entry level jobs. Some states like Idaho and Maine saw a dramatic increase (60% and 94%, respectively) in the number of internships posted to Collegerecruiter.com for July, while there was an increase of 73% in entry level jobs posted from the state of Michigan. No other state enjoyed such a dramatic increase for July, but none saw greater than a 20% decline either.
