Jobster Trends is a new feature that gives you a look at the who, where, and what of job search. It includes the most popular searches, biggest gainers and losers, as well as the most popular job search locations.

Combine this data with information about what jobs are being posted where, as Jobster obtains by crawling the web, and you start to have a pretty interesting map of supply vs. demand across the country for different types of positions.

We look forward to presenting more of this data over time; it’s a pretty fascinating topic. Eventually, I can imagine economists using search data as one of the things they factor into their forecast.
