The Hiring Signal Hidden in Remote Work Adoption Data

With job openings rising to 7.6 million but the S&P 500 down 2% in a week, Lucas and Luna dig into a 2026 JOLTS data point that few are talking about: the share of remote-friendly job openings. They explore how employers are quietly pulling back remote listings even as workers demand flexibility, and what this means for hiring rates and wage growth. With the unemployment rate stuck at 4.3% and hourly earnings rising only 2.9% year-over-year, the hosts unpack why remote work signals are becoming a leading indicator for labor market tightness — and why job seekers should pay attention to the geography of job ads. #RemoteWork #JOLTS #JobOpenings #HiringTrends #LaborMarket #Unemployment #WageGrowth #FlexibleWork #WFH #JobSearch #CareerStrategy #EconomicData #Fexingo #BusinessPodcast #Careers #2026 #JobMarket #HiringSignal Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
