MogiKuwait Job Postings Surge 85 Percent
Job postings in Kuwait saw an 85 percent rise in the past week, while global postings fell slightly.
By Andre Costa, Mogi Research · Oct 11, 2026
Job postings in Kuwait increased by 85 percent in the last seven days, from 54 to 100. This surge is the largest percentage growth among countries. Peru also saw significant growth, with postings rising 80 percent, and Kenya added 77 percent more job postings.
The overall number of new job postings across all countries fell by one percent during the same period, from 494,473 to 487,808. This suggests a general cooling or slight contraction in the job market.
The rise in Kuwait could be due to increased investment or a specific sector experiencing rapid expansion. It is also possible that new reporting methods or a change in how job postings are tracked in Kuwait contributed to the higher figures. The global decrease may reflect seasonal employment patterns or broader economic adjustments.
