Insights

  • Burning Glass made improvements to more efficiently identify expired job postings and this resulted in fewer "available jobs" before stabilizing at a new level as of January 23, 2022. Available job postings historically did not change. The time series experienced a one-time downward shift due to a better methodology.
  • Job Postings measured in this report refer to the employers who are actively advertising online, it is not a representation of Job Openings, which measures all positions that are open (not filled) on the last business day of the month.
  • There were approximately 80,800 Available Job Postings during the October 2022 monthly reporting period, a slight decrease from 83,000 postings compared to September 2022. There were 28,098 New (first-time) Job Postings, a decrease of 2,978 first-time postings compared to the previous month. New (first-time) Job Postings in October 2022 represented 35 percent of all Available Job Postings – a slight decrease compared to the prior month. The Dallas metro also saw a similar percentage decrease in new job postings, while the Houston metro decreased at a slower rate (~4% compared to ~9% in Dallas and Austin).
  • Approximately 14 percent or 11,571 of all Available Job Postings during the October 2022 reporting period fell under Management Occupations, while 10,841 Available Job Postings fell under Computer and Mathematical Occupations, showing continued strong demand for experienced or senior talent and tech talent in our region.
  • There are currently about 5,600 postings indicating vaccination requirements, or mentions of vaccination requirements, a decrease of approximately 100 postings compared to the previous month of September 2022. Most of the vaccination mentions are posted by companies like KPMG, Accenture, Visa, CVS Health, and Paypal.
  • 6,449 postings offered "signing bonuses", a decrease of 523 postings when compared to the previous month.
  • Thirty-seven percent or 30,200 of Available Job Postings pay an annual median wage between $30,000 to $65,000. Of these, 59 percent, or 17,800 will require a high school diploma as the entry-level education, and 13 percent, or 3,900, will require at least a bachelor's degree.
