Software engineer job postings in Texas fell by forty seven percent in the last 28 days, from six hundred twenty two to three hundred twenty seven. This follows a nine percent fall in total software engineer job postings across the US.
California saw a rise of forty seven percent in software engineer job postings, adding two hundred thirty four new postings. New York added twenty six new postings, an eleven percent rise.
The fall in Texas could be due to a seasonal adjustment or a shift in employer demand. The rise in California may reflect increased investment in technology sectors within the state. Virginia saw a surge of sixty percent in postings.
