Monster Employment Index
Definition
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. Why Investors Care

Monster Employment Index
 Actual 167  
 Previous 165  

Highlights
The Monster employment index rose to 167 in March, up 2 points vs. February but well down from last March's 185 in a result the report said still indicates that online recruitment is slowing. The report cited special weakness in finance. Yesterday's mildly upbeat call by ADP has lifted expectations slightly for tomorrow's employment report.
