RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Every week for the WRAL TechWire Jobs Report, we track the total number of Triangle-area job openings posted on major job websites, across 20 different searches.

Here is the latest data, both good (more openings) and disconcerting (fewer postings) as of Aug. 15. Note: We use the shorthand abbreviation “MoM” for month-over-month and “YTD” for year-to-date in our report. This week’s report includes tracking the month-over-month gains as a percentage increase or decrease in the total number of postings measured by WRAL TechWire.
