Growth in job postings has slowed in the tech and hospitality sectors

Growth in job postings has slowed in the tech and hospitality sectors, according to Indeed data reviewed by Bloomberg.

  • Despite those fears, 50% of CEOs polled by the Business Roundtable in a survey earlier this month said they are planning to increase employment levels in the next six months, down from 68% last quarter.

  • Job openings were also near all-time highs and managers laid off the fewest employees on record in April.
