Wanted Analytics (03/29/12) Abby Lombardi
Wanted Analytics says more than 42,000 job ads for truck drivers
were posted online during the past 30 days, up 42% from the same
period in 2011. Year-over-year increases in hiring demand were
greatest in Chicago, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, and
Philadelphia, with job ads for truck drivers up 95% in Los
Angeles alone. Five locations where truck driving positions will
be easiest to fill are Salisbury, MD, Sebastian-Vero Beach, FL,
Michigan City-La Porte, IN, Miami, FL, and Bangor, ME. Positions
will be harder to fill and ads will remain online longer in
Lawrence, KS, Muncie, IN, Owensboro, KY, Corvalis, OR, and
Pueblo, CO.
