For the next few months, Espresso will focus on the recent upheaval in employment and its impact on job postings. In this environment, traditional sources of labor data, such as state and federal employment data are of little help; they usually update annually, which means their most recent data is from the pre-COVID era and sheds only a glimmer of light on current employment trends. To provide current information, this blog will use Gray’s job postings dataset, which updates monthly, to provide you insights on trends in skills requirements and employment. We have already begun publishing short articles on these trends:
- Nursing: Nursing Job Posting Decline
- Remote Work: Not Remotely What You Would Think
- Internships: Internship Opportunities in a Steep Decline
