Mendocino Farms job postings surge in California

Mendocino Farms posted eight times as many jobs in California in the week to October 14, a rise of seven hundred and ninety percent. This compares to twenty nine postings in the previous week. Loblaw Companies also posted job openings, with nine thousand seven hundred and fifteen new postings. Domino's added job postings, with seven hundred and twelve, an increase of thirty one percent from five hundred and forty two.

Overall job postings in California fell by nine percent in the same period. Albertsons Companies saw a large fall in job postings, down seventy nine percent. Sodexo also posted job openings.

The surge at Mendocino Farms may be due to seasonal hiring needs. The large number of postings from Loblaw Companies could reflect expansion plans. Domino's increase may be a response to a rise in demand.
