Job postings in India dip 5.8% in July: Indeed report
Formal job openings in India dropped by 5.8% this July, after two consecutive months of growth and landing 14.9% lower than last year, according to the latest Indeed report.
Still, there's a silver lining: job postings are up 70% compared to pre-COVID days.
Software dev roles dominate, while education and pharma see decline
Tech remains the hiring champ—one in five formal job postings is for software development.
Roles in data analytics, logistics support, therapy, and dental fields are growing fast.
But there's a noticeable dip for medical info, pharmacy, education, and doctor roles.
Demand for skilled talent remains strong
Even with fewer postings overall, demand for skilled talent is strong—especially as more work shifts from informal gigs to official jobs.
The takeaway? Upskilling is key if you want to stand out and thrive in India's fast-changing job scene.
