This week we were joined by Nick Bunker from Indeed for an overview of the Indeed Hiring Lab and the latest review of the labor market.  We talked about the April Jobs Report and why it was so disappointing as well as the JOLTS report with 8.1 million open jobs.  We also discussed the types of job postings Indeed has seen on the rise in the US.
