Indeed
Indeed is the job-search and hiring platform whose posting data grounds Tech sector job postings on Indeed (mostly) stabilized this year. In the Marketplace Tech episode, Corey Staley uses Indeed’s February 2020 baseline to explain why tech job postings have stabilized but remain depressed.
The source makes Indeed useful to the wiki as a labor-demand signal. The reported Tech Job Posting Index of 67.2 suggests tech postings are about one-third below their pre-pandemic level, while health care postings are described as about 23% above baseline. The episode also uses Indeed postings to show AI Labor Market Concentration: AI-related skills are requested in only about 4% of postings, and AI language can mean technical AI work, recruiting automation, or sometimes buzzword signaling.
Opening the curtain of AI business integration adds Indeed’s workplace-readiness angle through Priya Rathod. The episode shifts from job-posting volume to adoption mismatch: employers want specific AI skills and AI native workers, but workers may not feel ready and managers may not know how to lead people with stronger AI fluency.
