Many other states added roles too, so the list is not a map of where the jobs are. ## Is the overall week up or down? Down. New roles across all states fell 256 week over week, from 9,419 to 9,163, a drop of about 3%. The comparison counts only boards Career App was already tracking before the comparison period, so a newly added board cannot inflate it. Over 30 days the direction matches: 38,778 new roles, against 40,113 in the prior 30. That makes Missouri's week unusual. It added roles in a week when the wider total shrank, and [Massachusetts](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/massachusetts), Ohio and New York did the same. ## Which employers posted the most new roles this week? [AdventHealth](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/adventhealth) led all employers with 546 new roles and 1,736 listings open. [Citigroup](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/citigroup) followed with 292, then [U.S. Bank](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/u-s-bank) with 269 and [Cleveland Clinic](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/cleveland-clinic) with 258. [Target](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/target) added 229, [Tyson Foods](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/tyson-foods) 208, and [Stryker Corporation](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/stryker-corporation) 187. [Marriott International](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/marriott-international) posted 182 new roles against an open total of just 206, the tightest ratio on the list. [Accenture](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/accenture) added 179 and [Boeing](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/boeing) 178. These counts cover each employer's full board, not any single state. ## What is the board total right now? 73,182 listings are open today from 1,071 employers hiring. Over the past seven days, 19,067 roles opened and 9,262 closed. Closures trail the employer taking a role down by about a week, because a closure is recorded when the board is next re-read. Remote work accounts for 4% of new roles.
