The number of mass layoffs in manufacturing--one of the hardest-hit industries in the recession--dropped in March to its lowest level since August 2007. Could this mean the economy is improving and the labor market picking up? Each week NEWSWEEK scours online job boards to track the best listings with salaries of $100,000 or more. This week's picks from Simply Hired, Indeed, and Vault:
Principle Software Engineer, eBay
The wildly successful online auctioneer is looking for a Java Infrastructure engineer to build and maintain parts of eBay's PayPal system. You need to have strong software design, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
Pros: The job is based in San Jose, Calif., the epicenter of the country's best tech jobs.
Cons: You have to have lived and breathed infrastructure for the past decade; applicants must have at least 10 years of experience.
Chief Financial Officer, Denver International Airport
The Denver airport is looking for someone to keep tabs on the more than $550 million it generates in revenue. You'll work closely with the city of Denver to adjust the airport's goals and capital improvements.
