Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd posted 900% more jobs in South Dakota

Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd posted nine times more jobs in South Dakota in the week ending October 18, a rise of nine hundred percent. This surge in postings follows a period where the company posted only one job. The total number of new job postings in South Dakota fell by twenty one percent over the same period, from six hundred and thirty seven to five hundred and four.

One reading of the data is that Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd's large increase is a significant driver of overall job posting volume in the state. However, the facts show that the overall number of postings actually fell. The increase at Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd may be due to a specific hiring initiative or a change in how the company advertises its vacancies. It is also possible that the previous week's figure was unusually low.

Other employers also saw changes in their job posting volumes. Hy-Vee, Inc. added job postings, with a rise of one hundred and fourteen percent, from twenty one to forty five. Avera Holy Family Hospital posted jobs, with a change of only negative one percent, from eighty down to seventy nine. The facts favour the reading that Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd's increase is a notable event for that specific employer, rather than a reflection of a broader upward trend in the state's job market given the overall fall in postings.
