Job postings in Kenya rose twenty nine percent in the last seven days. There were one hundred fifteen postings in the most recent seven day period, compared to eighty nine postings in the prior period.
This rise may be due to increased employer demand for specific roles. Backend Engineer and Data Engineer roles were among those added.
China saw a surge of one hundred sixteen percent in job postings over the same period. Peru also experienced a nineteen percent rise in job postings.
