Top 231 Job Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 231 job keywords, updated October 2026.
Job keywords are the search terms of people looking for work: job titles, "jobs near me", "work from home", the big job boards and application terms. Volume is huge and steady; competition is dominated by the job sites, so niche job titles and locations are the openings.
The list holds 231 keywords with a combined 129,277,690 searches a month. The most searched are linkedin (55,600,000), indeed (37,200,000), cv (3,350,000), work (2,240,000), glassdoor (1,830,000), unemployment (1,220,000), career (1,000,000), apprenticeship (823,000), minimum wage (823,000) and ceo (823,000).
Advertisers pay most for organizational psychologist ($5.21 a click), loan officer ($5.20 a click), paralegal ($3.73 a click), insurance agent ($3.51 a click) and compensation analyst ($3.15 a click). 21% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
Demand is steady through the year: across the list, the busiest and quietest months are within 1.2x of each other. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.
Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
