Job openings that require formal education credentials are “gradually disappearing” this year on Indeed, the popular job search website said.

As of this January, some 52 percent of job postings in the United States didn’t come with any education requirements at all. That’s up from 48 percent at the same time in 2019, according to a Feb. 27 report by Indeed Hiring Lab, the company’s economic trend analysis wing.
