U.S. May help-wanted index falls to 37

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. newspaper help-wanted advertising fell in May, the Conference Board said Thursday.

Ad lineage fell in all nine U.S. regions over the past three months.
"Hiring intentions have turned cautious," said Ken Goldstein, the board's labor economist.

The all-time low in the index is 36, reached several times in the past two years.
