Labour Market Tracker: Number of job postings back to pre-pandemic levels – REC

17.01.25

The latest Labour Market Tracker from REC was released yesterday and shows that the number of active jobs postings in December 2024 was 1.41 million, which is back to almost the same level recorded in December 2019.

The survey singled out new job postings for IT as having fallen dramatically in 2024, compared to the previous year.

β€œIt was a particularly difficult year for IT professionals looking for new jobs – a complete reverse of demand during and just after the pandemic, which was very high. These roles will bounce back quickly as companies invest in IT transformation during an economic recovery.”

So, whilst the comments confirm what most of us already knew in IT, there is a silver lining (hopefully).
