Episode 99 of The Job Market Podcast examines how job ads for internships are changing in mid-2026. Lucas and Luna dive into new data showing a 15 percent increase in internship postings compared to last year, but also a rise in unpaid positions and vague project descriptions. They discuss what this means for early-career job seekers and how to spot quality opportunities. The episode also covers the latest unemployment rate dip to 4.2 percent and a slight uptick in job openings, and what that signals for intern hiring. Practical tips for evaluating internship ads and negotiating for pay or academic credit are included. #Internships #JobAds #EarlyCareer #HiringTrends #LaborMarket #UnemploymentRate #JobOpenings #JOLTS #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #EmployerStrategy #SkillsTraining #UnpaidInternships #Negotiation #Careers #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
