RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK By many measures, the job market in the Triangle appears to have slowed, in some cases, by as much as an approximately 10% dip in job openings since a month ago, the latest data analyzed by WRAL TechWire shows. But is this a seasonal blip to be expected or a sign that the local economy may be slowing as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates and the venture capital market may be changing?

It may be too soon to tell, though there are some early signs that the balance of power at tech companies may be tipping back toward employers. And todays WRAL TechWire Jobs Report takes a look whats happening right now in our local economy, with regard to job openings and postings. See below.

(Note: The month-over-month totals are compared to our June 13 report, and the year-to-date totals compare to our Jan. 3 report. Weve made some changes in methodology as of July 2022 in how were tracking jobs posted to Indeed. The Adzuna Raleigh listings are now also only showing job postings with a stated location in Raleigh, which may contribute to the decline in this weeks report compared to prior reports and prior month totals.)
