The media may still be a little negative about unemployment and the economy - however, here in Northwest Indiana things are on the up!
Our economy is strengthening locally and the number of job postings are on the rise!
According to findings by the Northwest Indiana Workforce Board (NWIWB), job orders posted by companies through the state WorkOne system have risen dramatically in March.
In fact, the increase is not small, Indiana Career Connect (ICC), the state's online labor exchange, showed a 40% increase in the number of open and available jobs in Northwest Indiana last month.
At the beginning of March, there were a little more than 1,000 open and available positions in ICC. As of Thursday, April 1, 2010, there were more than 1,400 open and available job postings, an increase of 400.
Even nationally, the U.S. Department of Labor recently announced that jobless claims for the nation are down and several national online job search websites have reported that their job postings are up across the board.
The Northwest Indiana Workforce Board (NWIWB) works to mobilize and integrate the leadership, services, and resources of the community to support workforce development. This all goes hand in hand with the general growth of the region.
Northwest Indiana is a great relocation destination for all - including families!
