The Conference Board of Canada’s Help-Wanted Index is an indicator of the number of new jobs advertised online. Our empirical analysis has shown that variations in the number of jobs posted online are generally followed by similar variations in employment in the ensuing months. Thus, the index can be used to predict near-term employment trends.

The Help-Wanted Index posted a significant gain in July, climbing 9.9 points to 131.3. That was a big improvement from what we saw over the first six months of this year when the index failed to gain any ground—in June, the index was at the same level it was at in January.
