A recent analysis by jobs portal
Indeed.com found that job searches for blockchain and cryptocurrency have declined, but employer demand has soared. Between September 2015 to September 2019, job postings per million grew 1,457%, while the share of searches per million increased 469%.
But the stated figures were mostly due to the bull run of bitcoin back in 2017. In the past year, job postings per million on Indeed increased by 26%, while searches per million decreased by 53%.

On the other hand, employers are committed to developing blockchain technologies.
The report observed that software roles make up the highest percentage of crypto and blockchain jobs.
