What does the US Job Postings Index by State and Industry (Indeed) measure?

It measures daily United States labor demand relative to a pre-pandemic baseline set at 100, tracking total and new job postings across various states and industries.

How frequently is the Indeed job postings data published and how far back does it go?

It is published daily by Hiring Lab with series extending back to 2019, providing timely updates on United States labor market conditions.

Which breakdowns and metrics are available in this table?

The table includes total and new postings with and without seasonal adjustments, broken down by individual United States states, specific industries, and specialized categories like remote work.

How does this table differ from official US government job openings data?

Unlike official monthly government reports that lag by several weeks, this Indeed index provides daily tracking of United States job listings to capture rapid shifts in labor demand.
