Finding a new job is getting harder.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.1% last month, marking the first time it surpassed 4% since 2021.

Recent college graduates are struggling to find employment despite a decrease in job resignations.

Despite the decline in hiring due to the pandemic, companies are still eager to fill numerous job openings, according to a recent study by Indeed.

An analysis of job search site data from March 2023 to March 2024 revealed which roles had the most job openings but the least engagement from job seekers.

"According to Gabrielle Davis, a career trends expert at Indeed, these roles are in high demand but are receiving fewer clicks and applications from job seekers. Therefore, she believes these jobs are the most overlooked or "slept on.""

According to Indeed, there are 7 in-demand jobs that are "ready for you to apply."

1. Document reviewer

Average salary: $51,883

2. Mortgage consultant

Average salary: $64,049

3. Insurance broker

Average salary: $90,293

4. Board-certified behavior analyst

Average salary: $75,158

5. Licensed realtor

Average salary: $205,609

6. Banking consultant

Average salary: $110,318

7. Tax manager

Average salary: $115,928

Despite a challenging real estate market with high interest rates and housing prices, the demand for non-real estate roles such as mortgage broker, insurance broker, and licensed realtor continues to rise, according to Davis. However, it is difficult to determine the specific factors driving this demand. Indeed reports that several roles on the list, including insurance broker, document reviewer, and mortgage consultant, do not require a bachelor's degree.

All roles provide hybrid or remote options for job seekers seeking flexibility.

"Despite the challenging labor market, there are still many job opportunities and the outlook remains positive, according to Davis. The low unemployment rate and high demand for these roles indicate a stable and robust labor market."
