Chart of the Day: Job postings drop 1.9% MoM in August

The recent drop left postings 17.6% lower than a year ago.

Available jobs in Singapore continued to decline in August, data from Indeed showed.

According to Indeed, job postings on their platform fell 1.9% MoM in August, marking a ninth consecutive monthly decline.

The recent drop left postings 17.6% lower than a year ago.

Sports (-25%), beauty & wellness (-20%) and mathematics (19.4%) were sectors which saw weakness in postings in August.

Sectors such as physicians & surgeons, veterinary and pharmacy, on the other hand, recorded an increase in postings of around 30%.

“We anticipate that job postings will continue to moderate over the remainder of the year, consistent with a more challenging economic environment. The decline in job postings is the first real sign that softer economic growth is impacting the labour market” said Callam Pickering, APAC Senior Economist at Indeed.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
