Data collected and analyzed by the Alabama Department of Labor’s Labor Market Information (LMI) Division shows that as of May 2021, the yearly total of online job ads is 89,105, up 130% from May 2020. The dramatic increase reflects the shutdown period during the COVID-19 pandemic. The monthly total of online job ads for May 2021 is up 4.8% with 24,794 new online ads.
The five occupations with the most online job ads continue to be for registered nurses, retail salespersons, sales representatives, customer service representatives, and truck drivers with 14,317 ads placed for those occupations in May.
The HWOL data is compiled from all online job postings in the state, including those posted on the state’s free online jobs database, AlabamaWorks.alabama.gov, and other sources, such as traditional job boards, corporate boards, and social media sites.
Eleven percent of job ads have salaries of $75,000 and above; 13% have salaries in the $50-75,000 range; 20% have salaries in the $35-49,000 range; and 56% have salaries of $35,000 or under.
