Job opportunities pick up in Jan-Jun: Monster.com

After a lull last year, employment opportunities have picked up in the first six months of the year. The Monster Employment Index for June shows that the number of job opportunities posted online has been increasing month on month for the first six months, except for the telecom, auto and manufacturing sectors. The index rose 8% for the six months ended June. Manufacturing, auto and telecom continued to register a decline in demand for jobs, while job opportunities in home appliance, and media and entertainment led all industry sectors. These two sectors charted double-digit growth rates since January 2014. Of the 27 industry sectors monitored by the index, 26 saw improved recruitment activity from a year-ago.
