Puerto Rico Job Postings Rise 53 Percent

Puerto Rico saw the largest percentage increase in job postings last week, with a surge of fifty-three percent.

By Priya Raman, Mogi Research · Oct 24, 2026

Puerto Rico experienced a fifty-three percent rise in job postings in the week ending October twenty-fourth. This surge brought the total number of postings to two hundred ninety-six, up from one hundred ninety-four in the preceding week.

The increase in job postings in Puerto Rico may be attributed to several factors. Baristas del Caribe LC added thirty-one postings, Hewlett Packard Enterprise added nineteen, and AutoZone added fifteen. These employers could be expanding their operations or filling new roles.

Other states also saw notable changes in job postings. Mississippi's postings rose forty-two percent, and New Hampshire's increased forty-one percent. These figures followed Alabama's thirty-nine percent rise and Louisiana's thirty-six percent increase.
