The Impact of Coronavirus on US Job Postings Through June 18
US job postings on Indeed.com on June 18 were 30.5% above February 1, 2020, the pre-pandemic baseline. Human resources jobs have increased dramatically.

Hiring was much weaker than expected in April. Wall Street thinks it’s a blip, but there could be a much deeper re-think going on of what jobs are needed and what workers want to do on a daily basis.
