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 fell 5 points in November to 183 reflecting what the report describes as a broad decline in online job availability across industries and regions. Only 2 of 20 industries posted gains in the month. The outlook for Friday's jobs report would be bleak -- if it were not that is for yesterday's robust estimate from ADP. Jobless claims, with the latest data issued at 8:30 a.m. ET, have been giving the most important negative signal of all.
