Job postings in North Carolina increased by six percent in the past seven days. This change saw postings rise from five thousand one hundred ninety-three to five thousand five hundred one. Alabama also experienced a rise, with postings growing by nine percent.
Puerto Rico saw a surge in job postings, with a twenty-two percent increase over the same period. This change saw postings rise from two hundred six to two hundred fifty-two. Mississippi and Illinois also experienced smaller rises of seven percent and five percent respectively.
The increase in North Carolina postings may be attributed to several factors. A rise in demand for Software Engineers, Product Managers, and Data Engineers could be a contributing element. Additionally, significant employer activity from Domino's, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, and American Addiction Centers may have influenced the overall numbers.
