Simply Hired is a vertical job search aggregator that takes your search terms and gives you results that are pooled from various job banks on the internet. Their philosophy is to be the central hub for job listings online and today they announced a new tool that measures job trends over time. From July 2006 to January 2008, you can view trends related to any keyword of interest, such as “marketing” or “finance.” You get to choose which graphs you want the data shown in, such as a line or bar graph.

With Employment Trends, you can compare the frequency of job titles, companies, skills and industries in the US employment market. This marketing, finance, accounting, hr, social media trend data is derived from millions of jobs indexed by Simply Hired.
