Help-Wanted Index Nearly Unchanged: The stability in the volume of such advertising in U.S. newspapers in March reflects slower job growth than predicted, the Conference Board reported. The business research group’s help-wanted advertising index dropped to 132 from 133 in February and follows a four-point increase over January’s reading of 129. But the index is eight points higher than in March, 1994. The latest reading suggests that new jobs will not open up quite as quickly as at the end of last year, board economist Ken Goldstein said. The index climbed to 138 in December.
