Software job demand has rebounded, which seems like good news on the surface, but actually means the industry's recovery is still in its early stages. While software development job postings on Indeed have increased by 6.5% this year, reaching the highest point since January 2024, they are still 69% lower than the peak in March 2022. Meanwhile, overall job postings remain at a low level. This contrast reflects that the market is still seeking stability, but there's still a long way to go for a full recovery.
