1 in 4 Job Listings on LinkedIn Are Likely ‘Ghost Jobs,’ According to a New Report. Here Are the Cities Impacted the Most.

According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data published Wednesday, job openings in July fell to the lowest level in 10 months — 7.18 million from 7.36 million in June. Now, a new report by career website ResumeUp.AI suggests a whole bunch of those openings might not even be real.
