Corey Staley

Corey Staley is the Indeed senior economist interviewed in Tech sector job postings on Indeed (mostly) stabilized this year. In the Marketplace Tech episode, he uses Indeed job-posting data to explain why U.S. tech hiring has stabilized after a sharp post-2022 decline but remains well below its February 2020 baseline.

Staley’s role in the wiki is to ground Tech Hiring Stabilization in a concrete posting index rather than stock-market or AI-hype signals. He says the Tech Job Posting Index is at 67.2, while AI and machine-learning roles are doing better than the broader technology category. He also adds a caution around causality: Software Developer Hiring Pullback may reflect AI exposure, but it also reflects pandemic-era overhiring and a Low-Fire Labor Market.
