eQuest?s US Employment Index showed continued positive movement in the recruitment space moving forward to 102.03 from 101.81. This gain was achieved in October with stronger than expected job postings but offset somewhat by increased in applicant traffic.

The number of new job requisitions was spread across a wide span of industries in the US demonstrating continued consistency of minimal but steady growth from July. The Healthcare industry showed the strongest growth through the month with a significant increase in overall job postings. Surprisingly, the real estate industry additionally showed strong growth in posting volume throughout the month. Production and manufacturing-based industries continue to occupy the bottom of the Employment Index driven by a continued lack of a significant number of new positions being added to the marketplace. Geographically, states with the highest hiring demand in September were Idaho, New Mexico and Arizona while Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama had the lowest demand for employees.

The UK index showed an expected uptick in job postings but this was reversed by a larger increase in the applicant traffic across the region. The result was a small decline in the in the UK Index from 98.92 to 98.76. Growth has remained consistent across most industries in the UK; however the results have varied greatly regionally. London continues to make the greatest gains in both posting and applicant traffic as the summer moves forward showing economic progress. Eden, East Devon and Ryedale again posted the highest level of employee demand, while Nottingham, Kingston upon Hull and Liverpool remained at the bottom of the regional list for candidate demand.

Sacramento Metal Stud Framing Specialist Releases Recommendations for Residential Consumers Interested in Steel Framing

Vacaville, CA (PRWEB) November 03, 2011

Today, Vacaville drywall contractor Andujo's Drywall, released their recommendations for steel framing in residential properties. Metal stud framing has long been used on commercial buildings; however, over the last few years the declining quality of lumber and environmental concerns have more builders turning to metal stud framing for residential homes as well.

There are many advantages to building with steel:

1. Metal won?t warp, bow, rot, or fall victim to termites.

2. Steel studs, joists, and trusses weigh as much as 30% less than wood, making metal studs easy to transport, move, and store.

3. Metal studs have superior fire ratings.

4. Screws and anchors offer stronger seismic resistance than nails.

5. Metal is recyclable. While it takes 40 to 50 trees to frame an average house, it takes only six junked car to frame in steel.

Metal stud framing, however, requires skilled labor, training and familiarly with installation methods, and that?s where?s Andujo?s Drywall can help.
