Employment Trends and Statistics

The CareerJunction Index (CJI) is an analysis of online labour market trends and is based on statistics sourced from the CareerJunction website, South Africa’s leading Online Recruitment solution. The CJI’s statistics focus on labour supply and demand trends. By comparing these, CareerSeekers can gain an insight into current employment trends and labour statistics for various industry sectors. This can aid CareerSeekers in understanding the conditions which they may face when seeking employment in a particular industry sector. Where recruitment is difficult, finding employment may be easy. The opposite is seen for industries where recruitment is easy. CareerSeekers generally face tough competition in these industry sectors and seeking employment is more challenging.

Below is a visual illustration of the overall online labour market situation, taking into account the amount of active CareerSeekers and the amount of advertised jobs on the CareerJunction website.
