Livesense May Raise Fees as Japanese Job Market Improves

Livesense Inc., the jobs portal led by the youngest president of a company on Japan’s top bourse, may raise fees for its information service as the nation’s labor market improves, sending its stock up the most in five months.

“The number of job openings is increasing, as money is starting to circulate” in the world’s third-largest economy, Taichi Murakami, Livesense’s president and founder, said in an interview in Tokyo. Japan’s jobless rate dropped to 4.2 percent in January from 4.3 percent in December in an indication that newly elected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s drive to boost the economy with anti-deflation policies may be paying off.
