Hiring Lab Blog
I regularly publish on the Indeed Hiring Lab Blog, using Indeed data to provide timely insights into labor market trends. In a recent piece, I have analyzed growing labor demand of European defense companies and jobseekers’ interest in that sector. Together with colleagues from DIW, I have also examined gender differences in the AI transformation, finding no clear link between an occupation’s AI transformation potential and its share of women, but finding a gender gap in AI usage in Germany.
In my quarterly Labor Market Update, I zoom in on current developments within the German market. My latest Q2 2026 update shows German job postings falling to their lowest level in over five years — down 3.9% quarter-on-quarter — though summer jobs bucked the trend, holding steady year-on-year even as most other occupations declined.
