“With nearly 54 million visitors in a typical month during the fourth quarter of 2007, the career services and development category continues to attract a significant share of the total European Internet audience,” said Bob Ivins, EVP of European Markets for Comscore. “Traffic to these sites represents a bellwether for the job market, and if economic conditions worsen over the coming months and cause an increase in the unemployment rate, we can expect to see visitation activity at these sites climb.”
