Monster collects job postings from 1,500 web sites (including Monster.com) and creates an index of job availability, akin to The Conference Board's help wanted index. The difference between the two is that one collects help wanted advertising from newspapers and the other collects from online posting. The Monster index is not seasonally adjusted.

Highlights
The monster employment index rose 3 points to 186 in August. But this index always rises, a reflection of the rising use of the web for job searches. The year-on-year growth rate of 7.5 percent is actually the slowest on record. But news out of the financial sector, which is being closely watched following mass layoffs in the mortgage industry, was no worse than flat.
