Workforce Demand

How SIM Ventures judges current demand from real hiring data

Loading…

Demand rule (provisional):

In short: we count job postings for each career area every quarter and ask two questions. Are postings rising or falling compared with a year ago? And are they above or below where they were before COVID (February 2020)? Official BLS employment and openings data double-checks the direction. A 10-year BLS projection is context only and never excludes a career.
