Ghost job statistics 2026

On October 4, 2026, 26.6% of the 4,732,296 open listings in the Applystead job catalog had been live for more than 60 days, and 21.4% for more than 90 days. Ages count from the day the catalog first recorded each listing, so the long-open shares are lower bounds. Read the study: Ghost job statistics 2026: how long job listings stay open.

Hiring pulse

The hiring pulse is a monthly report of open roles, companies hiring, pay transparency and remote share across the job postings Applystead indexes. Each month's page has CSV and JSON downloads, a citation and an embeddable card with a credit link.

Reuse and credit

The studies' data, the charts on this page and the hiring pulse are published under CC BY 4.0. Reuse them with credit to Applystead and a link to the study or month you use. The figures describe the Applystead job catalog, not the whole labor market; each study's methodology states what it counts.
