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.
The analysis found that 27.4% of all U.S. job listings on LinkedIn are likely ghost jobs with no intentions to hire. According to the Congressional Research Service report on ghost jobs, the term is defined as “online job postings for positions that do not exist, or that employers are not planning to fill immediately.”
