According to new statistics, hiring for jobs in Tampa has increased.

According to the new CareerCast.com/JobSerf Employment Index, hiring was up 4 percent in Tampa. Washington, D.C. jobs saw the biggest increase.

The June 2011 Index, which measures managerial hiring activity online, is nearly 40 points higher than it was in June 2009, which is a hopeful sign of long-term recovery in the job market.

“Since we began tracking executive hiring with the Index in 2008, we have traditionally seen a slight increase in hiring from May to June each year,” says Jay Martin, COO, JobSerf. “2011 is the first year we had a loss of jobs in June.”

Los Angeles saw a gain of 13% in managerial hiring over last month, followed by Miami (+10%) and Tampa (+4%). Five cities had double-digit losses in June: Seattle (-15%), Washington, DC (-12%), Louisville (-12%), Detroit (-12%) and Indianapolis (-11%).

“Although we are still concerned about the lag in hiring, the past year has shown a steady rebound in the number of employment opportunities,” says Tony Lee, publisher, CareerCast.com. “We can expect a few bumps in the road on the way to a full recovery.”
