MAYNARD, Mass.-- October 20, 1999--Monster.com remains first in Web traffic among all Internet job sites, boasting more than 2.6 million unique visitors, surpassing its closest competitor, CareerPath.com, by more than 250 percent. According to independent research released yesterday by Media Metrix for the month of September, each visitor spent an average of 26.1 minutes on Monster.com. With a reach of 4.1 percent, Monster.com continues to be the number one destination for career seekers on the Web.
