Are job postings for Software Engineers growing in US states? In Missouri, postings for Software Engineers rose by fourteen percent. This change was from twenty-two postings to twenty-five postings in the past week.
Colorado saw a nine percent rise in Software Engineer postings, from thirty-five to thirty-eight. Virginia had a six percent increase, going from forty-seven to fifty postings.
Nationally, Software Engineer job postings fell by twenty-six percent. The number of new job postings dropped from one thousand ninety-three to eight hundred four.
This rise in Missouri postings may be due to increased hiring by companies like Boeing and Mastercard, who each posted nine Software Engineer roles. It could also reflect a broader shift in where companies are looking for talent.
