No industry is safe from the economic devastation that the coronavirus pandemic is causing. As retail and hospitality take a hit, and the gig economy dries up, over 22 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the past month — effectively wiping out the last decade of job growth.

Job postings have also disappeared, with Business Insider's Juliana Kaplan previously reporting that, when compared to April of last year, postings on Indeed have dropped nearly 31% in the United States, with hospitality and tourism seeing the biggest hits, childcare coming in second, and the entertainment industry coming in third.

More Indeed data shows which metropolitan areas, with populations of 500,000 or more, saw the sharpest declines. Honolulu, Hawaii, takes the top spot, seeing a 45% decline in postings.
