Data released by a hiring firm suggest that job postings with COVID-19 vaccine requirements sharply increased in August, although the overall number of job postings requiring the vaccine is relatively low.
In the seven days ending Aug. 30, the number of postings on the Indeed hiring website that had COVID-19 vaccine requirements saw a 119 percent increase over the same seven-day period at the end of July, the site’s data show. Job postings that mentioned a general vaccination requirement rose by 242 percent over the same time period.
