After multiple reviews here upon getting copyright authority, this most recent is looking awesome….
Major metropolitan areas, not only almost doubling in job openings post lockdown, but looking at the lack of steeping of the curve (far right) job fills are on the rise as well!
Marine Traffic – C/O Marine Traffic.com
Almost went with the Flight Aware map, but since we already know TSA Throughput is rocking from our first noted graph, let’s go to the waters….
This is screened for Cargo Vessels (stuff) and Tankers (Oil and the like) ONLY….
Supply chain bottlenecks, look out … there is relief on the horizon….
There you have it, some very good positives to go with for your hump day viewing….
A while back, we reviewed the JOLTS – Job Opening Statistics here . We noted at that time, the index was at an all time high, putting pressure on Employers to find workers….
Indeed Job Openings
With copyright permission granted a while back, lets take a look with greater precision at different areas of the country and world for that matter…. Data from Indeed Lab Solutions
Big US States – Wow – Florida pushing almost 40% increase in job listings versus 1-2020! Maybe not surprising after hearing all of the traffic heading to the State from other areas of the country.
Texas and Big Texas Cities
All between 20-30% higher ! Wow again!
Around the Globe
Very interesting to see the listings adjust so dramatically close to the openings and closings of countries…
All in all, very stunning improvements across the Globe!
As mentioned on Wednesday’s Slow Moe Money Post, this was actually scheduled for the Hump Day, but was ousted due to our continued snail findings of overwhelmed financial institutions across every aspect of the financial world.
With that in mind, this is a bit of a heavier Friday, but all of these missed the Newsletter due, once again, to your great experiences and questions!
TSA Throughput Updates
While not knowing of this data prior to 2020, we have enjoyed monitoring it greatly….
Hat Tip JP and “The Brain” for noticing my bad data chart and repairing … now we are cooking!
While passenger count is gaining steam, especially notice Thanksgiving Holidays ….
We are still well behind 2019, “Normal” numbers!
Vaccine should help, end of year Holidays will be interesting… not to worry we are so enamored you will certainly see a review here!
Indeeds Job Posting Update – Global and Local
In another fascinating find, and once approved from the company for reproduction, we are just at the tip of the iceberg of this data, as there are well over 100 data bases …. as mentioned here, yep we have reviewed all and so far are just monitoring this Global…
Go Australia, all the way back to flat or just above — Nice!
And our second favorite, our own back yard of Cities here in Texas!
Go San Antonio- you guys rock and are almost back to whole as well.
KASTLE Back to Work Barometer
Frist mentioned here, this fantastic tracker is from none other than a security company…what a great way to utilize your inside knowledge for the help of many!
Watch out if you are buying, renting or expanding the commercial footprint – this is no where near Indeed’s job posting bounce all the way back!
Here is a link to a more interactive Kastle graph that you can hover over for exact information.
We are not sure if these have been around for some time, have been created for the current situation, or are just finding our eyes….
But we like them…
First it was the TSA Throughput numbers, which we find extremely interesting in following and tracking air passenger travel, here is our latest post.
Then we stumbled upon the Kastle, back to office working tracker, here, which of all things, is a security firm at its roots, but has created a fascinating graph of office occupancy in the largest 10 cities….
Meet our latest find…
Indeed Job Posting Indexes
In true nerd like fashion, we have reviewed, in Pavlov’s dog fashion (major drooling) all 118, yep … one hundred and eighteen different indexes from Indeed.
We find it very interesting the variances by country. Germany is the most shallow of the drop-off in job postings … with the UK oddly being the deepest, and of note, Australia suddenly having an increase to take the lead as of late in the closest to be back to normal.
Indeed Texas Indexes
Here is a more specific regional job postings tracking of the state of Texas and cities, Austin, Dallas Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio.
Here is a link to my data page on FRED or click on Chart for Huge Version
San Antonio, the clear winner, with postings only down 7.9% from early year, our guess was Austin due to it’s high tech influence (wrong!) and the loser so far … Houston, lagging down almost 20% which makes sense due to Oil Dependency.
We will add this to our following and update posts and look forward to researching other areas of the Country/World as well as watching these continue!
Have a Great “Indeed Job Postings World Review” Day!

Let’s have some fun and look at some very positive data points
TSA Throughput Update
Wow, back to almost normal… this is 2019 versus 2021 … looks like we are hitting the skies…
Guess what, this is without a lot of business travelers…
