Monster collects job postings from 1,500 web sites (including Monster.com) and creates an index of job availability, akin to The Conference Board's help wanted index. The difference between the two is that one collects help wanted advertising from newspapers and the other collects from online posting. The Monster index is not seasonally adjusted.

Highlights
The Monster Employment Index added to recent gains, at 136 in June vs. 134 in May. Among industries, agriculture & forestry posted the strongest score followed by mining. Construction showed the sharpest gain. Manufacturing, which is being closely watched for the effects of a slowdown in the auto industry, fell sharply in the month. The index, which showed greater strength in the jobs market than the May employment report, is not likely to affect expectations for June's report tomorrow.
