Jobs rising and falling in demand
24 professions carry a live weekly demand signal from our own job postings pipeline. The change below is between the two most recent complete weeks. Updated September 7, 2026.Series cover Jul 13, 2026 → Oct 26, 2026.
Only real signal is published: professions without a weekly series of at least two complete weeks, and mock rows from the seed dataset, are never shown. Series are indexed to 100 at their first published week; the sample covers US postings across the city roster and public ATS boards — a market indicator, not a census.
