"Job and career-related resources continue to be one of the fastest-growing categories online, which is not surprising given the current state of the economy and the number of people seeking job opportunities and career advice," said Jeff Hackett, comScore senior vice president. "The top three sites in the category – CareerBuilder, HotJobs and Monster – have maintained their leadership positions for several years now, but there are also a few upstarts in the industry making some noise. Certainly with millions of Americans reevaluating their careers right now there is opportunity for continued growth and innovation in this segment of the online marketplace."
Customer Service is Most Searched Occupation on Career Resources Sites
comScore also conducted an analysis of the most searched occupations within the career services & development category to understand which jobs are in high demand and/or supply. "Customer service" ranked as the most searched occupation with 273,000 people searching on that term in the category in June, followed by "warehouse" (257,000 searchers) and "sales" (217,000 searchers).
