ExecuNet Research Reveals Top Cities For Executive Job Growth
www.execunet.com – October 30, 2006 – Amid record highs for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, easing energy prices, and strong job growth, recent research conducted by ExecuNet, the leading executive career management and recruiting network, reveals New York, Chicago, and Boston generated the highest number of six-figure job opportunities during the first eight months of 2006.
According to analysis of over 15,000 job openings published between January 1, 2006 and August 31, 2006, the ten cities that created the highest number of executive-level opportunities accounted for less than one-quarter (24%) of all openings nationwide, they include:
New York, NY
Chicago, IL
Boston, MA
Washington, DC
Los Angeles, CA
San Francisco, CA
Philadelphia, PA
Atlanta, GA
Dallas, TX
Minneapolis, MN
"The demand for executive talent in each of these cities has exceeded all expectations," says Mark Anderson, President of ExecuNet. "However, it is important to keep in mind that collectively, these cities were home to just one of every four executive job openings during the first eight months of the year – this speaks volumes about how broad-based the employment market’s growth is at this level."
According to a survey of 129 executive recruiters conducted earlier this year by ExecuNet, the industries expected to generate the greatest growth in executive level jobs during the second half of 2006 include:
Healthcare
Financial Services
High-Tech
Business Services
Defense/Aerospace
"It’s truly a great time for executives to be proactively exploring new opportunities," says Anderson. "Despite negative sentiment surrounding the housing market and inflation risk, healthy corporate profits continue to fuel strong executive demand across all industries, functions, and cities."
