Ratio of online job ads to unemployed people rises
Advertiser Staff
Hawai'i no longer can claim the distinction of having the nation's lowest ratio of online job ads to unemployed people.There was one ad for every 0.88 jobless person in Hawai'i in March, according to a review of Internet job classifieds iby the Conference Board, a New York-based business research group. That only trailed Wyoming and tied Utah.
Hawai'i was ranked the lowest in February.
The highest ratio in March was in Massachusetts, where there was 4.32 people out of work for every Web job advertisement, the Conference Board said.
