New Jobs Report: 49,430 New LinkedIn Jobs in 5 Days (Nov 6-10, 2026)

This is Careerfornia's report on new job postings. It covers the LinkedIn jobs our job feed found from Friday November 6 to Tuesday November 10, 2026, in Pacific time. That is the first five full days of the feed. We plan to update this page each week with the same method.

For scale: the US government counted 7.5 million open jobs in September 2026 (BLS JOLTS, released November 3, 2026). Our feed sees a slice of that, the new LinkedIn postings for the roles Careerfornia users search. Read every number below as a picture of that slice.

How many new jobs were posted this week?

49,430 new LinkedIn jobs in five days, from 14,034 companies. About 95% were in the United States.

Weekdays averaged about 10,900 new jobs. Weekend days averaged about 8,400, about 23% fewer. Jobs did not stop for the weekend. New jobs also came in at every hour of the day and night. No one person can read 10,000 jobs a day, so alerts for your own roles matter more than the total.

The cities with the most new jobs were New York (1,939), San Francisco (1,199), Chicago (943), Seattle (924) and Austin (911). Another 4,527 jobs listed only "United States", which usually means remote or many locations.

How many applicants did new jobs have?

Most were still early. 74% said "Be among the first 25 applicants" when the feed found them. We saved LinkedIn's applicant label at the moment each job was found and did not update it later.

The feed found the median job 21 minutes after LinkedIn's listed post time. It found 48% within 20 minutes and 99% within an hour. So this table shows jobs in their first hour.

Some jobs were crowded at once. Of the 23,603 jobs found within 20 minutes of the listed time, 1,463 (6.2%) already said "Over 200 applicants". Reposted jobs can carry a new post time, which may explain some of these. Our guide on how fast jobs get applicants looks at this in more detail.

Which jobs filled up fastest?

Data jobs drew applicants fastest. We grouped jobs by words in the title. Many titles fit none of our groups, so "Other" is large.

Two things stand out:

• About 1 in 5 data scientist jobs already showed over 200 applicants when found. For all jobs, it was about 1 in 17.
• Data engineer and ML jobs said no sponsorship more often than the average, about 1 in 6.

If you apply to data or software roles, the first hours matter more for you than for the average job seeker.

How many new jobs said no visa sponsorship?

9.5% of descriptions clearly said no sponsorship. We read the 49,147 descriptions the feed had saved and matched phrases such as "will not sponsor", "without the need for sponsorship" and "sponsorship is not available". We checked a random sample of matches by hand, and each one was a real no. Our match misses some wordings, so the true share is a little higher.

Most postings say nothing clear either way. Silence is not a no. Many employers ask the question only in the application form. Our guide on how to answer "will you now or in the future require sponsorship" covers that question, and how to find jobs that sponsor H-1B shows how to check an employer's past filings in the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub.

Another 10.2% of descriptions mentioned US citizenship, a green card or a security clearance. Some of these are hard requirements, and some only mention it. Read the full sentence before you skip a job.

Which companies posted the most new jobs?

Big employers and staffing firms led. These employers posted the most new LinkedIn jobs from November 6 to 10, 2026:

Several accounts in the overall top 25 were recruiters, staffing firms or job boards, not the employer itself. Among them were TalentHop (588), CyberCoders (458), RemoteHunter (347) and Jobot (235). Those posts can be real jobs, but you often learn the employer only later. Check who the employer is before you send your details.

How many new jobs listed pay and seniority?

About half listed pay. Almost half the titles were senior.

• Pay: 48% of descriptions included a dollar amount, such as a salary range or an hourly rate.
• Seniority: 44% of titles used words such as senior, lead, staff, principal, manager, director or head.
• Entry level: only 6.4% of titles used words such as junior, entry, associate, new grad, intern or "I" as a level.

So most new jobs do not say entry level in the title. New grads can still apply to many of the others. Our guide on entry-level jobs that ask for experience shows how to read those.

What should you do with these numbers?

See new jobs early, skip the clear no's, and send a tailored resume to the ones that fit.

1. Set alerts for 2 to 4 job titles. LinkedIn alerts and company career sites both work. With over 10,000 new jobs a weekday in our slice alone, you need a filter.
2. Check new jobs two or three times a day, weekends included. Weekend jobs drew slightly more crowded labels when found (7.8% over 200, against 5.1% on weekdays).
3. Skip postings that clearly say no sponsorship if you need it. Apply to the rest that fit.
4. Tailor each resume. Speed does not fix a weak match. Our guide on how to tailor your resume to a job description shows the steps.

Where does Careerfornia fit?

Careerfornia finds these new jobs for your roles and can apply to them from your own Chrome.

• Jobs for you shows new jobs that match the roles you apply for, from LinkedIn and company career sites such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday. Most LinkedIn jobs appear within 40 minutes of being posted, and often within 20. Each job shows pay, visa sponsorship and full-time or contract when the posting says so. Careerfornia does not vet each posting, so check that a job is real.
• Auto-apply in the Chrome extension fills out applications to the jobs you tick, one by one, in your own Chrome and on your own internet connection. It writes a resume made for each job and stops before Submit so you can check the form. Cloud tools send applications from data-center servers, which job sites can flag as bot traffic. Yours come from your own browser.
• Hands-off applying applies to new matching jobs as they are posted, whenever your computer is on and Chrome is open.

The AI can sometimes add a skill you do not have, so read each resume before it goes out. Your first 25 applications are free, each with a resume made for the job, with no card needed. See pricing.

How did we get these numbers?

All numbers come from read-only queries of Careerfornia's job feed, run on November 11, 2026.

• Jobs: every LinkedIn job the feed first found between 12:00 AM on November 6 and 12:00 AM on November 11, 2026, Pacific time: 49,430 jobs. The feed runs LinkedIn's public job search for the roles Careerfornia users follow. It is not all of LinkedIn, and it leans toward US office, tech and data roles.
• Applicant labels: LinkedIn's label at the moment the feed found each job.
• Time to find: from LinkedIn's listed post time to when the feed found the job.
• Roles: matched from words in the job title. A title can fit only one group, checked in the order data analyst, data engineer, data scientist, ML or AI, business analyst, product manager, software engineer, DevOps or cloud.
• Sponsorship, pay and citizenship: word matches in the 49,147 descriptions the feed had saved.
• Companies: the company name as LinkedIn shows it. Amazon and AWS are listed separately because LinkedIn lists them separately.

Limits. LinkedIn's post times and applicant labels are LinkedIn's own, and a reposted job can show a new post time. Five days, two of them a weekend, is a short window. Next week's report will cover a full seven days.
