CareerJunction has released its jobs index for September, showing which industries currently\u00a0have the most job opportunities.<\/p>\n

The CareerJunction Index (CJI) represents online labour dynamics in South Africa by providing a detailed analysis of the relative ratio of supply and demand in the online job market.<\/p>\n

According to the group, the index dipped below 100 in September, showing that there were more job seekers than job opportunities. There was a sligh decrease in both supply and demand, CareerJunction said.<\/p>\n

Despite the slight decrease, however, labour demand remains high, overall.<\/p>\n

The IT and financial sectors currently have the highest vacancy rates at 27% and 18%, respectively – while on the supply side, the two sectors also have the highest number of candidates seeking work.<\/p>\n

“The IT and Telecoms sectors continue to show promising growth. Since January, vacancy levels have increase by 30% and 31% respectively,” CareerJu8nction said.<\/p>\n

“Top employment sectors for September include the Hospitality & Restaurant, Engineering, Mining, Medical and IT sectors.”<\/p>\n

Despite high demand in the finance industry, hiring activity in the sector dipped slightly in the month.<\/p>\n

Across ten sectors, only four saw an increase in hiring activity, the CJI showed.<\/p>\n
