Job postings have fallen significantly from elevated post-pandemic levels, driven by declines in various white-collar roles and technology.

The number of adverts for roles was 15pc above the pre-pandemic baseline of February 2020, according to Indeed’s latest Job Postings Index for Ireland, a real-time measure of labour market activity. This compares to the peak recorded in February 2022, when job postings were 65pc above the baseline.
