  There's another way of doing this:

  SELECT dbJobSkillGrp,

  SUM(CASE WHEN dbJobCreateDate BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'JobsCreated',

  SUM(CASE WHEN dbJobFillDate BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'JobsFilled',

  SUM(CASE WHEN dbJobCreateDate BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate AND dbJobStatus = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'JobsVacant'

  FROM ftjoborder

  GROUP BY dbJobSkillGrp

  ORDER BY dbJobSkillGrp

  Not better, just different.
