The data suggests job seeker interest in crypto-related jobs has decreased

The cryptocurrency market is having a volatile year, but there are still crypto jobs to be filled.

The number of crypto-related job postings increased by more than 25% compared with October 2017.

Whether job seekers want these jobs or not is another story.

Searches for jobs involving bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency dropped by about 3% this October compared with last October, according to data provided to Coindesk by job site Indeed.

“While over the last few years Indeed saw a steady rise in job seeker interest for roles related to cryptocurrency, our data shows that job searches for these roles really picked up around the time when the cost of bitcoin was at its highest. Since then job seeker interest has gone down, but still remains strong,” Raj Mukherjee, Indeed’s senior vice president of product, told CoinDesk.

Job seeker and employer interest were much higher in October 2017. Job seeker interest rose by more than 481% last October, while employer interest was up by 325%.
