RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – The Triangle's hiring momentum continues to gain national attention in workforce studies comparing regional job markets.

Compared to a year ago, the two metros have seen a 26% and 23% jump in IT job postings, respectively. Concerns remain about the state of the labor market, though. Ongoing national attention on the Triangle’s labor market coincides with record technology job growth in the region and across North Carolina as a whole. Reflective of a solid post-COVID recovery, the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area jumped two points from 2020’s rankings. Long-term, the technology, information and media industry continues to see hiring rates trumping pre-COVID levels, increasing 20.6% overall. The first two reports come from LinkedIn’s Workforce Insights unit.
