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 dropped broadly and sharply in December, to 169 from November's 183. The report attributed the decline to an end-of-year seasonal lull and to further moderation in online recruitment. The report cited special weakness in retail in what could be a hard clue for both holiday sales and for tomorrow's employment report. It said online recruitment in the financial sector is also down.
