Weekly Hiring Trends

The last complete week (beginning 2026-10-26)

• 302,229 — roles employers dated that week — counted only where we saw the posting within three days of that date, and including roles since taken down
• 132,614 — closure events logged that week, dated by the day we confirmed the posting gone; a role that genuinely came down more than once counts each time. Re-listings, batches our collector flagged as possible read failures of its own, and the takedowns a big board's first lap backfilled are all excluded — each is excluded from the 90-day closure total on the Ghost Job Index too, so the week is a part of that total; 1,745 flagged records were excluded from this week
• 16,404 — of that week's roles state a remote work mode — a FLOOR, not a share: it counts only the roles from that week we still hold, while the figure above also counts the ones already closed
• 39,374 — say early-career in their own title or stated requirements, on the same narrower population — also a floor
• +5% — against the week before, on the new-roles figure alone — printed only when both weeks were fully observed, otherwise omitted rather than estimated

Counted by the date the employer itself put on the posting, from its own applicant-tracking feed — never by when we first saw it. Postings from boards we catalogued mid-window are excluded, so growth in our coverage can never read as a hiring spike. Measured 2026-11-02 16:27 UTC, recomputed once an hour.

Counted by the date the employer itself put on the posting, from its own applicant-tracking feed — never by when we first saw it. Postings from boards we catalogued mid-window are excluded, so growth in our coverage can never read as a hiring spike. Measured 2026-11-02 16:27 UTC, recomputed once an hour. A change is printed only where the prior window was fully observed and held at least twenty postings; everything else prints a dash rather than a number.
