Media/Advertising Jobs Worst Forming Sector

Online job ads for the advertising and media sector fell 1.7 per cent in November, making it the worst performing sector surveyed by the Olivier Job Index.

The advertising & media sector was one of just two to go backwards for the period, which saw the overall index rise 5.9 per cent for the month. November's increase is the strongest since December 2007, before the global financial crisis.

The decline in advertising & media's online job came despite the sector's online job ads growing by 3.9 per cent in October 2009.

Year-on-year, advertising & media job ads are down 27.7 per cent.

Sales, marketing & customer service jobs were up 1.7 per cent for November but are down 31.9 per cent year-on-year as reported in Ad News.
