MogiMaine Job Postings Rise 13 Percent

Job postings in Maine rose by thirteen percent in the last seven days. This follows a period where postings in Maine went from eight hundred five to nine hundred thirteen.
Nationally, the number of new job postings across all states fell by twenty percent. New Mexico postings saw a fall of two percent, and Idaho postings decreased by seven percent during the same period.
The rise in Maine may be due to new opportunities in roles such as Software Engineer. It is also possible that employers like Assistance Plus and State of Maine contributed to this increase by adding job postings.
