By Jamal Pryce, Mogi Research · Oct 11, 2026
Connecticut added job postings at a rate of one hundred ninety-nine percent in the last 28 days. This surge in postings is likely due to a combination of factors, possibly including increased employer demand and seasonal hiring patterns.
Puerto Rico saw a two hundred thirty-eight percent rise in job postings, and Maine added job postings with a two hundred twenty-four percent increase during the same period. Florida and South Carolina also experienced significant growth.
The overall number of new job postings across all states in the US increased by one hundred fifty-three percent. This rise may reflect a broad increase in employer activity or a greater number of companies posting openings.
