California added job postings for software engineers, with a 63 percent rise in the last 28 days. This follows a period where 452 postings were recorded, compared to 739 in the most recent 28 days.
Texas also saw an increase, with postings for software engineers rising by 61 percent. The number of postings went from 485 to 783 over the same timeframe. Ohio experienced a 55 percent surge in software engineer job postings, moving from 234 to 363.
These changes may be influenced by several factors. Companies like JPMorgan Chase in Ohio added many postings, and overall demand for software engineers could be increasing in these states. It is also possible that the crawl captured more postings than in the previous period.
