Texas Investigates LinkedIn’s Ghost Jobs | Seattle News

Texas is launching a major investigation into LinkedIn over allegations that the platform misled job seekers with fake “ghost jobs” and failed to disclose that premium subscriptions might not guarantee real opportunities. The Attorney General’s office is demanding internal documents to examine how LinkedIn verifies job postings and markets its paid services, accusing the platform of violating consumer protection laws. With over a billion users and owned by Microsoft, this probe could reshape how job platforms operate — especially for those paying for access. While no formal charges have been filed yet, the AG emphasized that Premium users deserve honest, active job listings, not digital mirages. The investigation is still underway, but it’s already sending shockwaves through the job search industry. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
