Seasonally-adjusted hiring (hiring that excludes seasonal hiring variations - like companies hiring less in December due to the holiday season) was 11.8% higher in January than December. Hiring was higher in almost all industries in January 2017 than January 2016 as well, with oil and energy experiencing the highest spike in hiring year-over-year - up 23.3%.

San Francisco and Washington, D.C.’s skills gaps are largely due to a scarcity of workers with service-industry skills - like nursing, education and teaching, and retail store operations. Houston’s skills gap, on the other hand, is due to an abundance of workers with oil and energy skills - like drill and well management, subsea engineering and offshore operations, and geology.

This trend of lower hiring in the summer and fall was probably caused by the slow tightening of financial conditions over the preceding 12 months - including the raising of interest rates by the Federal Reserve and the general slowdown of the global economy.</p> <p>December bucked that trend with a 8.4% increase in hiring compared to December 2015. And seasonally-adjusted hiring (hiring that excludes seasonal hiring variations - like companies hiring less in December due to the holiday season) was 3.3% higher in December than November. The trend continued in January 2017 - hiring was 11.4% higher than January 2016.</p> <p>It’s premature to conclude that stronger U.S. hiring is an ongoing trend, rather than just a temporary blip. But it’s possible that employers in at least some industries have become more optimistic since the U.S. presidential election. Additionally, rising stock prices have possibly led to companies hiring more.</p> </div> </div> <div id class="component component-standaloneImage" data-component-type="standaloneImage"> <div class="standalone-image-component standalone-image-component--article-width"> <a class="standalone-image-component__link" href target="_self"> <figure> <img class="standalone-image-component__image" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 767px) 767px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 1920px" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4E08AQFMV8EtebTbZA/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/0/1520458270613?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=0CB9lrHX4xGiUL4-nUFja_Nr01JqnSz1hjeC61ipw8k" alt="Hiring on linkedin">  </figure> </a> </div> </div> <div id class="component component-richText" data-component-type="richText"> <div class="rich-text global-paragraph-style--reader"> <p>Removing seasonal hiring variations - like companies hiring less in December due to the holiday season - helps us uncover emerging hiring trends.

The media and entertainment industry was the only industry to buck the trend - hiring was 3.5% lower in January 2017 than January 2016, and seasonally-adjusted hiring was 6.6% lower in January than December.</p> <p>The oil and energy industry had the largest year-over-year increase in hiring. In 2015 and 2016, the industry experienced a severe recession due to the collapse of global energy prices. Crude oil prices have risen sharply since early 2016 though, so oil and energy companies may be starting to feel comfortable hiring more. Manufacturing/industrial and aerospace/automotive/transportation companies also experienced relatively large year-over-year increases in hiring - but not as much as the oil and energy industry.</p> </div> </div> <div id class="component component-standaloneImage" data-component-type="standaloneImage"> <div class="standalone-image-component standalone-image-component--article-width"> <a class="standalone-image-component__link" href target="_self"> <figure> <img class="standalone-image-component__image" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 767px) 767px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 1920px" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4E08AQG1gBTR8dPK_w/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/0/1520458173165?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=tl0k0fq1zgDRSiUj1TVh8XbWRiZQ17GveGnBxl-QreA" alt="Hiring on linkedin by industry ">  </figure> </a> </div> </div> <div id class="component component-standaloneImage" data-component-type="standaloneImage"> <div class="standalone-image-component standalone-image-component--article-width"> <a class="standalone-image-component__link" href target="_self"> <figure> <img class="standalone-image-component__image" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 767px) 767px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 1920px" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4E08AQHmaf9qDfPH8w/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/0/1520458219201?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=hVcoFMK5tm1jiZQI2HkwCmEeuBYx_7P5GBzRxLQG6sU" alt="LinkedIn Hiring Rate -
