MogiColorado Job Postings Rise 127 Percent
Colorado saw the largest increase in job postings over the last 28 days, with Puerto Rico and South Dakota also experiencing significant growth.
By Andre Costa, Mogi Research · Oct 16, 2026
Job postings in Colorado rose one hundred twenty seven percent in the last 28 days, from seven thousand nine hundred eighty five to eighteen thousand one hundred twenty six. Puerto Rico saw postings increase one hundred eighty eight percent, and South Dakota postings grew one hundred forty one percent. Overall job postings across all US states increased ninety six percent.
This growth in Colorado may be driven by several factors. The number of software engineer postings increased by one hundred nine, product manager postings by twenty four, and devops engineer postings by twenty. Employers like The Kroger Co., Albertsons Companies, and Domino's also posted more jobs.
The increase in postings across multiple states, including Colorado, Puerto Rico, and South Dakota, could reflect seasonal hiring patterns or a concentrated effort by employers to fill specific roles. It is also possible that the data reflects a broader increase in employer activity during this period.
