LAST WEEK’S POLL: 

◉ THE CAREER SIGNAL

“The job market is improving—but unevenly.”

Indeed's September data shows job postings have finally returned to positive year-over-year growth, and 60％ of occupational sectors were above their pre-pandemic posting baseline by mid-September. But tech remains notably weaker than many other areas. 

→ Your key takeaway: Don't read the national job market as one giant number. If you're job hunting, track demand for your specific function and industry before deciding whether it's time to move.
