A recent report reveals that a shocking 27.4% of U.S. LinkedIn job listings are likely fake positions.
Cities like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City have the highest concentration of these 'ghost jobs'.
Companies create these fake openings for various reasons, including attracting investors or creating a sense of workplace competition.
Job seekers should be aware of this trend and carefully evaluate job postings before applying, exercising caution and critical thinking.
