The number of Rhode Island construction jobs is swelling, according to recent labor stats.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment increased in health care, food services and drinking places, construction, and manufacturing in November.
The unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.8 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
Health care employment continued to expand in December (+45,000). Job gains occurred in ambulatory health care services (+23,000), in hospitals (+12,000), and in nursing and residential care facilities (+10,000). In 2012, health care employment rose by 338,000.
In December, employment in food services and drinking places rose by 38,000. In 2012, the industry added an average of 24,000 jobs a month, essentially the same as in 2011.
Construction added 30,000 jobs in December, led by employment
increases in construction of buildings (+13,000) and in residential specialty trade contractors (+12,000).
In December, manufacturing employment rose by 25,000, with small gains in a number of component industries. In 2012, factory employment increased by 180,000; most of the growth occurred during the first quarter.

The new ADP jobs report points to more finance jobs in Rhode Island.
Private sector employment increased by 215,000 jobs from November to December, according to the December ADP National Employment Report.
Trade/transportation/utilities services had the largest gain with 53,000 jobs added over the month. Professional/business services added 37,000 jobs and financial activities added 14,000 jobs in December.
Goods-producing employment rose by 28,000 jobs in December as a large gain in construction jobs of 39,000 more than offset the 11,000 decline in manufacturing employment.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said, “The job market held firm in December despite the intensifying fiscal cliff negotiations in Washington. Businesses even became somewhat more aggressive in their hiring at year end. Most encouraging is the revival in construction jobs, although the December gain was likely lifted by rebuilding after Superstorm Sandy. The job market ended 2012 on a more solid footing.”
Businesses with 49 or fewer employees added 25,000 jobs in December. Employment levels among medium-sized companies with 50-499 employees rose by 102,000, while employment at large companies – those with 500 or more employees – increased by 87,000.
Carlos A. Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of ADP, said, “During the final month of 2012, U.S. private sector employment ended the year on a positive note as 215,000 jobs were added – the ADP National Employment Report’s largest monthly gain since February 2012. During the past year, the private sector added a total of more than 1.7 million jobs.”

More and more companies are aggressively seeking individuals for advertising jobs in Rhode Island.
According to new research from creative staffing agency The Creative Group suggests, nearly four in 10 (39 percent) marketing and advertising executives said it’s challenging to find skilled creative professionals today.
Hiring managers at midsize advertising agencies (50-99 employees) reported the greatest difficulty, with 61 percent of respondents saying it was somewhat or very challenging.
In addition, one-third (33 percent) of those surveyed said they are looking to fill design or marketing roles, with more advertising executives (51 percent) than marketing professionals (33 percent) on the hunt for creative talent. Midsize agencies, in particular, are expected to see the most hiring activity, with 62 percent of advertising executives reporting they plan to add staff.
Respondents said they most value teamwork and collaboration skills when hiring creative professionals, over creativity and attention to detail.
When executives were asked in which areas they plan to add staff in the first part of 2013, account services ranked first, with 13 percent of the response, followed by social media and media services (each with 9 percent).
“Companies seek professionals who can help improve their online presence and interactions with customers and clients,” said Donna Farrugia, executive director of The Creative Group. “In many cases, there is a shortage of creative people with the right technical expertise and soft skills, making it difficult for employers to fill open jobs.”
Farrugia noted, “More and more, design and marketing professionals are teaming up with colleagues across an organization to execute campaigns and brainstorm solutions for business problems. As such, the ability to relate to and work with people who have different backgrounds and experience levels is important for any creative professional.”

Almost two-thirds of employers polled in a recent survey said they would hire qualified veterans over equally qualified candidates for Rhode Island jobs, among other locations.
This is all according to a new Careerbuilder survey.
Many employers are making military hiring a part of their everyday sourcing strategy.
Furthermore, 29 percent of employers say they are actively recruiting veterans to work for their organizations, up 9 percentage points from a year ago. Twenty-two percent are planning on adding members of the National Guard to their headcount, up 8 percentage points. Sixty-five percent said they would be more likely to hire a veteran over another equally qualified candidate.
CareerBuilder and Military Times are joining forces at www.MilitaryTimes.com/jobs to help veterans access the tools and information they need to connect them with the employers who most want to hire them. The Military Times Network, which includes ArmyTimes.com, AirForceTimes.com, NavyTimes.com and MarineCorpsTimes.com, in addition to MilitaryTimes.com, is visited by more than 2.5 million unique visitors each month, and offers unique content for each of the branches of the U.S. military online, and in print.
“The unemployment rate for veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq, though declining, is still considerably higher than the general population,” said Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America. “While military veterans possess a great deal of the business-friendly skills that employers look for in candidates, one of the challenges vets face is knowing where to begin when job hunting after they return from active duty.”
“Today’s military is a well-educated, professional, all-volunteer force,” said Elaine Howard, president of Gannett Government Media Corp., publisher of the Military Times brands. “So when troops join the civilian workforce, they bring with them skills, discipline and unmatched drive. But navigating the job search and translating military skills into civilian terms has always been a challenge. In partnering with CareerBuilder, troops and veterans now have a better way to make the critical transition from military to civilian success.”
Employers are looking to leverage the technical and leadership skills of military personnel, with 3 in 10 hoping to fill information technology positions with veterans. The most common areas for hiring U.S. service men and women are:
· Information Technology – 30 percent
· Customer Service – 23 percent
· Engineering – 22 percent
· Sales – 20 percent
· Manufacturing – 20 percent
· Business Development – 15 percent
