The United States also saw a rise in postings, increasing by fifty seven percent from five hundred eighteen to eight hundred twelve. India added job postings, with an eighty four percent rise from one hundred eighteen to two hundred seventeen.
This surge in the United Kingdom may be due to increased demand for data analysis skills. It could also reflect a greater number of companies posting for these roles in the last month. The change could also be a result of the crawl finding more postings that were previously uncategorized.
