After a seasonal adjustment, the manufacturing, educational services and health care sectors all experienced month-over-month double-digit job growth, according to the December Job Opportunity Report by Bullhorn, an employer software manufacturer.  

Based on the job openings data, Bullhorn can predict the upcoming numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Employment Opportunity Index that that is set to release Feb. 3. By then, Bullhorn expects that there will be an additional 170,000 jobs in January 2012 to mark another month of growth.

"We are seeing a steady increase in job opportunity across regions and sectors, which is very welcome news," says Art Papas, CEO of Bullhorn. "We are predicting that, in general, 2012 will be a better year for job seekers."
