According to a new analysis by an economist at Indeed, the amount of job ads requiring candidates to have a COVID-19 vaccine is on the decline. As of April 29th, only about 6.7% of U.S. job listings cited vaccination as a requirement for applicants. Although, there is wide variation in the vaccine requirement from state to state, for example 12.4% of job ads in Oregon require vaccination in comparison to only 2.4% in Montana. The economist who conducted the analysis said, “I believe the downward trend is indicative of whether employers think advertising required vaccination will help them attract the workers they want.”
