Total job postings as of the end of 2023 declined more than 15% from a year earlier, according to data from job-listing site Indeed through Dec. 29. Job postings are still up by more than a quarter from their prepandemic levels, Indeed’s data show. Human resources job postings fell by nearly a third in 2023, according to Indeed, and are now slightly lower than their prepandemic level. Job seekers in marketing face even tougher competition, with postings 20% lower than their prepandemic level. The Labor Department is scheduled to release November job openings and labor turnover data on Wednesday morning, and it will publish the December jobs report on Friday.
