AI: Jobs, Power & MoneyBackground
Indeed Hiring Lab is the Labour-market research Arm of the jobs platform Indeed, producing regular data on hiring, wages and job-posting trends in the United States and other markets.
Its job-postings data is tracked by category and seniority level, giving it visibility into structural shifts, such as a narrowing entry-level market, that aggregate hiring or unemployment figures can miss.
That granularity underpinned its July 2026 finding of a widening gap between senior and entry-level postings, cited alongside other economists' work questioning whether record-low jobless claims reflect real labour-market health.
