What it is
Daily and sector-level tracking of the US job market since February 1, 2020 (pre-pandemic baseline) — how hiring demand shifted through COVID, the 2021–22 boom, and the tech slowdown after. Includes a “sector summary” file with the headline numbers already computed for you: net change since baseline, pandemic trough/peak, and days to recovery per sector.
Source
Underlying job postings data is from Indeed Hiring Lab’s Job Postings Tracker, licensed CC BY 4.0. I built and included an original sector-to-SOC-2018-major-group crosswalk (Indeed’s category system doesn’t map 1:1 to the standard occupational taxonomy, so this fills that gap) — that mapping is my own work, not part of Indeed’s data.
Size/scope
44 occupational sectors, all 51 states (incl. DC), daily observations from Feb 1, 2020 through today. National, sector-level, and state-level files, plus the pre-computed summary stats file.
How it was built
Fully scripted pipeline (Python/pandas) — one command downloads the raw data and rebuilds every output file from scratch. Nothing manually edited or copy-pasted, so it’s reproducible and easy to refresh later since Indeed updates their source weekly.
