Where Are All the Mobile Developers?

Job openings for mobile developers are booming while interest from job seekers trails off, says a new study from Indeed

Job search firm Indeed this week released an analysis of the mobile developer market, based on data gathered from the site from May 2018 to May 2019. Indeed researchers found that while the number of job listings for mobile developers increased by 4.93 percent year over year, the number of mobile developers looking for jobs dropped by 32.89 percent for that same period.

Breaking down the numbers, Indeed concluded that demand for Android developers is increasing faster than demand for iOS developers, and was up 10.61 percent compared with 1.79 percent for iOS. Job seeker interest fell at similar rates for both, though, and was down 26.34 percent for Android development jobs and 25.61 percent for iOS development jobs.
