2012 Job Market - In which the Jobs Are, Where They Aren't and Other Employment Speculations

Measuring analytics, keyword phrases and locations of visitors to the organization website of KAS Placement, I've come across some trends as to where the worst locations for employment are, why this is (or speculation as to) and what cities and positions have near vanished due to the continuing poor economic conditions of our country and across the globe.

The Worst City for locating a Good Job:

Philadelphia - Bar none, this is actually the worst metro area for marketing and advertising jobs. This statement considers the amount of people looking for work in sales, marketing and media relative to that of open, decently paying jobs in those disciplines. From every city in the United States, Philadelphia is the 2nd most visited city to our website, however does not rank within the top 10 in number of open jobs. I'd go as far to say that taking into account the ratio between open jobs in marketing and advertising an open job seekers, Philadelphia is equally as bad, otherwise worse than Miami, Phoenix, Las Vegas or any other cities that fell most victim to the housing crisis.

Unsurprisingly, Philadelphia and Miami have crime rates which make New York City and La seem suburban.

The Hottest Industry Hiring Marketing and advertising Personnel:

Facebook Advertising and all sorts of Related - Many times when an industry is hot, the popularity comes with a pending bubble burst, but industries associated with Facebook Advertising and some social media haven't hit that point yet. They continue to escalate and create jobs although other industries lack active hiring for marketing and advertising personnel. Although this industry could be the hottest, it's also the most exclusive to get into if you are coming from outside the industry as a sales, marketing or media professional.

The Vanished Jobs in Marketing and advertising:

Pure Sales Management - When starting this agency nearly Many years ago, there was a dramatically higher demand for sales management professionals whose job description ended up being to simply manage the present sales reps. The finish goal within this positions was growing business for that company by improving the performance of their subordinates, instead of new business acquisition themselves in addition to any people management responsibilities. However, due to budgetary cutbacks and lower incomes and revenues than nearly about ten years ago, hiring companies are trying to get the most from their sales management professionals by adding new sales requirements, whatever the number of sales professionals the managers have the effect of. Previously few years, pure sales management roles have been tricky to find and those available pay less on commission compared to what they used to.

Gen. Marketing Jobs - The demand for intangible marketing professionals such as "branding experts" has greatly diminished. Many people looking for work within the field decided to visit independent, because these kinds of marketing jobs appear to be first out and last back in. The marketing people looking for work that hiring companies want these days understand how to formulate, program and design blogs, social networking outlets, search engine optimization, ppc and even some web programming. Marketing has gone from creative to more analytical and continues this progression apace, as the economy remains inside a continuously poor, dark state.

A Bright Spot in the Foreseeable Hiring Future:

By recent years months, our staffing agency has seen lots of smaller, start-up companies looking for sales and marketing professionals around the U.S. - even just in smaller cities such as Denver, Seattle and Oklahoma City. Some of this growth is a result of venture capital while other drivers include companies happening the offensive to grow share of the market inside the respective industry.
