 Executive Summary
• Hiring steadily surpasses pre-recession levels. After returning to pre-recession
levels last month, nationwide job openings continued to increase in April, gaining 6.7%
month-over-month and 33.9% year-over year. “In March, SimplyHired.com reached
pre-recession numbers of job listings, and the government released the most optimistic
employment report we’ve seen in a long time,” said Gautam Godhwani, CEO of
SimplyHired.com. “The continued job growth our site has seen in April will likely result
in more hires in the coming months.”

• Increased hiring in 49 of 50 metros. Nearly all 50 most populous metros experienced

month-over-month increases in job openings in April. The only metro with a decline
in job openings was Austin (TX), which decreased -4.0%. Last month, Austin had the
greatest job growth across all metros.

• Most competitive metros now less competitive. While the rank order for the nation’s
most competitive job markets did not change, three of the most difficult metros for job
seekers became slightly less competitive. The unemployment ratios in Las Vegas (NV),
Detroit (MI) and Orlando (FL) improved from last month, dropping to 7:1, 5:1 and 5:1
respectively.

• UnitedHealth Group enters top employer list. Major healthcare corporation

UnitedHealth Group entered the nationwide Top Hiring Companies list at position
5 in April. While UnitedHealth has nearly 9,000 job openings across the country,
more than 2,000 of those openings are located in Minnesota, where the company is
headquartered.

Employment Impact: Rising Oil Prices

• Marked decline in travel hiring. Hiring in the travel industry decreased -15.6% in
April, nearly two months after crude oil prices surpassed $100/barrel. This sharp
decline in hiring so close to popular travel months is likely an attempt by airlines and
other oil-reliant travel businesses to buffer the unavoidably high cost of oil.

Top Hiring Companies by Metro
HIGHLIGHTS

• More openings at healthcare, tech companies. Of 28 employers with over 1,000 job openings in
a metro, 10 were healthcare-related and 7 were technology-related. The remaining 11 employers
were from financial services, military/defense, education, food services and utilities.

• Increased Macy’s hiring. This month, department store Macy’s emerged as a top employer in
three major metros: Miami & Fort Lauderdale, New York and Pittsburgh. Macy’s increased hiring
may be an early reflection of the retail industry’s summer seasonal hiring, but it is more likely an
indication of the company’s economic health.

 About the U.S. Employment Trends Report

The U.S. Employment Trends Report is a monthly summary and analysis of employment
trends in the United States. These findings are based on monthly job seeker activity on
SimplyHired.com, which aggregates millions of listings from over 30,000 employment
sites, and data obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some findings may be
projected from recent historical data. Data may not be representative of all industries,
occupations and/or metro areas. “Metropolitan Areas” in this report are the 50 most
populous in the U.S., as ranked by the Nielsen Company’s Designated Market Area (DMA)
list. “Occupation Categories” are derived from the Department of Labor’s O*NET database.
